Drinking under 21?

As we all know Royal Caribbean are an American Cruise line there is a strict over 21 alcohol policy. I have a lady who is travelling with her grown up children aged 21, and 18. As they are travelling over Christmas, she really wanted her 18 year old to be able to enjoy the festive spirit with the rest of the family! I enquired about this with Royal Caribbean and ruling is as below:

Providing the 18 year old is travelling in Europe with their legal guardian or Parent and that parent or guardian is happy to do it, they can sign an authorisation form allowing the 18 year old to drink, under the responsibility of the said parent or guardian. This can be signed on the first day or board and DOES NOT stretch to friends of the family, unless their parents are also on board and can sign the declaration as well.



So this is good news for my client and thought it might be interesting to other family groups!
