Given that NCL doesn't always know or follow their own rules, even if the below applies to you, I would absolutely switch names on the cabin to have an over 21 sailing with the 20 yr old. NCL has no issues with giving you extra key cards on board so the person switching can still sail in the cabin they were originally in.

 

Directly from the cruise contract:

 

© Guests under 21: Any Guest under 21 years of age is considered a minor. Any Guest under the ageof 21 must be accompanied in the same, connecting, or side by side stateroom by a Guest 21 years ofage or older at the time of embarkation who expressly agrees to be responsible for the under-21 Guestthroughout the cruise. The Guest agrees that this responsibility includes, but is not limited to, preventingthe under-21 Guest from violating the vessel's rules, including preventing the under-21 Guest frompurchasing and/or consuming alcohol and/or gambling on board the vessel, except as set forth herein.

Thanks for this, it’s exactly what I needed. I will reviews the contract and print this out. I like how it says “side-by-side” stateroom because 3 of the 4 rooms are next to another. I will reference this at check-in and now I am less worries about complications.

:confused:We booked 4 cabins for 12 people for a NCL cruise. It’s sailing in 15 days from now and fully paid. The cabin in question is booked with two brothers, aged 20 and 24. The 24-year-old is in the military and his leave was declined. We want to keep all 4 cabins and simply travel as expected, minus one person. I have heard that no-shows are a good option. However, that leaves a 20-year-old to check in without his “adult” in the room. Will this cause problems at check-in? We have 6 adults sailing and could switch names on the cabin. I would prefer to change as little as possible, and avoid complications. Can we just show up?
