Carnival Minor Policy question

[wrkara]

My friend and I (both 23) want to cruise with her younger sister (17). If I'm understanding correctly, we can't as Carnival requires a 25 year old in a room with a minor. Is my friend able to act as a guardian even though she's under 25 because they're related or should we put our trip on hold? 

 

Thought I'd ask here before I email my pvp the same question 😂 

 

thanks in advance!

Two 23 year olds can't book a room unless they are married   Someone in the room has to be at least  25 years old

Incorrect.  21 is the minimum age.

 

However, the 17yo cannot sail in this example as they would need a chaperone over 25.

I cruised in November with my 19 y/o cousin in the same room as me. PVP said no problem because of "Guests 18 – 20 years of age

Do not have any restrictions and may book whatever location they prefer." 

No questions were asked at check in.

Who else was on the ship?

That is a horse of another color. A 19 year old is not a minor. A 17 year old is.

How old were the other family members in other rooms?

No, someone needs to be 25

It doesn't have to be in the same room, but someone on a linked booking would need to be over 25 for the 17 year old.  The two 23 year olds are fine.

"The bookings must be cross-referenced with the relative or guardian's stateroom and documented properly."

Someone doesn't have to be booked in the same cabin as them, just have the reservations linked. We always put our kids in their own cabin. They are the primary guest in the cabin and we do not book an adult in the cabin with them. However their reservation is linked to ours.
