What is the drinking age on Half Moon Cay

We are travelling on Carnival and would like to know the legal drinking age on this private island owned by Carnival. Can you by drinks for cash or do have to cahrge them to your onbard account?

You might want to post this on the Carnival Cruise Line board.

The private island is an extension of the ship, so the drinking age of the ship will be the drinking age of the island. In addition, all charges will go on your onboard account, no cash.

21 would be the drinking age.

The bars on HMC are attended by ship's crew. The same bartenders you see on the ship, work the bars on the island.

Same rules: you must be 21 to drink and all charges go onto your shipboard account by way of your key card, same as on the ship.

It's definitely the same as on the ship and you use your card to pay.

also if carnival has any soda or drink cards -- you can not use them on the island

the only place on HMC that accepts cash is the few local vendors in the booths as you enter the area

also if you do any of the excursions -- you will want some cash to tip the guides

Although not the original question, the soda card WILL work on HMC.

The legal drinking age is irrelevent because as stated already in this thread, the alcohol is served by the cruise line. Therefore, cruise line policy is what matters. The age is 21.
