dodiebird Posted September 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2007 We will be sailing next summer on the Dream. It will be my family and a family friend's son. He will be 18 when we sail. I know that in the past when we sailed before on the Majesty that we could sign a consent form so that my 19 year old could purchase beer or wine. How does this work if our friends son is sailing with us but not with his parents? Can we sign for him since he is sailing with us? Thanks! We are looking forward to sailing on the Dream since we have sailed many times on the Majesty so this will be something new for us! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunseeker1 Posted September 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2007 You can only sign for your children. His parents would have to be there to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted September 16, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Isn't an 18 year old an adult for all purposes except drinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachchick Posted September 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Isn't an 18 year old an adult for all purposes except drinking? But since this question was specifically about drinking, the issue of how the cruise lines view 18 to 20 y/o's in general doesn't apply. Although the US can declare 18 y/o's adults in all ways (except alcohol), the cruise lines aren't bound by that. NCL doesn't allow 18 y/o's to book a cabin on their own; they don't have to, even though "we" say that 18 y/o is an adult. It's similar to car rental companies where some won't rent to anyone under 25 and some impose higher rates on drivers who are younger than 25. In both cases, insurance rates are no doubt part of the equation. (Just like car insurance companies charge higher rates for younger drivers, and maybe older drivers too.) beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
