hishorselover Posted January 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi. My question is in regard to Carnival's age policy. My son will turn 18 midway through our trip. Will Carnival consider him to be 17 for the duration since he will be that age when we board? Or is this a non-issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma624 Posted January 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I think your situation is "best of both worlds". For "minimum age = 18" restrictions ( club, casino), I believe he will be allowed once he is actually 18. For "maximum age = 17" restrictions ( kids club) he will be considered 17 for the entire week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how they will handles the Bottomless Bubbles - if they will charge us one rate for the duration? Or will they change it halfway through? Not that it really matters.

Whatever his age the day he buys the soda package is the price that will be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted January 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've heard rumors that the age he's at, will be the age he is referred to regardless of if his birthday is during the cruise. However, with an ID, he can get into the casino and club if it shows he's 18. The tricky thing I've heard is if he turns 21 mid-cruise and there's a question if the bars will serve him or not.

coevan Posted January 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How could they possibly refuse service if you're 21? I personally would insist on it, because he has ID which says he's 21. you might have to get an updated sign and sail card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, a cruise line can refuse service to anyone at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
