Lol- well I forget most of my 20’s😂. And yea at my age I’m not really out clubbing or into going to big sporting events. Just seems more frowned upon in the US and negative comments about a teen having a few cocktails. I’m sure my 20 year old is doing me proud at the moment in the south of France 😂

Funny, I was calling MSC about the seashore. We have traveled and sailed all over Europe (he would love to go back to Greece). I’m just hesitant because my other child has been traveling all over Europe for the past month and flight, train cancellations and delays has been an issue. He’s joining the army and leaves early October, so we won’t have a lot of room for delays. It’s really not so much about the alcohol, as he loves cooking and is quite the mixologist. Some of our best mother/son time has been traveling and eating fabulous meals. I’m thinking I might go with Virgin again was just hesitant about how comfortable I’d be with my child no matter how old or young he is 😂

That’s exactly what I was hoping to do. MSC was the only one I contacted and they were sticking to 21 according to the agent. I’ll try the others you mentioned. I asked here bc I feel like you speak with each customer service representative and get all different answers. I’m not opposed to Europe, it’s just kind of last minute and with flights being an abomination price and cancellation wise it just seemed like an easier less stressful option.

Well really you just have to be able to see over the bar😂. Honestly in the states is the only place I consistently see crazy binge drinking, insane partying, and all the joy that surrounds it🙄. I’m from NYC happily living in the Virgin Islands now.

After reading the responses, it looks like we’re off to Greece and Italy. The suite thing just makes a huge difference in the price. I remember when my older child was 18 I signed a form allowing her to drink beer and wine. It was NCL and although everyone in the suite had premium drink packages included, I got charged for every beer and glass of she consumed bc it coded as a child’s package. Was hoping if we cruised out of San Juan or St Thomas(where we live) one of the cruise lines out there would recognize the drinking age is 18 here and in most of the Caribbean.

Thank you!! I’m actually the age when the drinking age changed in the US from 18 to 21(it was lowered to 18 the last time there was a draft ) He is actually 6’5” with facial hair(for now) He carries himself like a much older gentleman, and really only drinks socially in the evening.(Usually a bourbon or gin & tonic) I guess we’re sailing out of Europe. Now to hunt down airfare.

I am looking for current information about the drinking age on various lines. No judgment please, where I live the drinking age is 18:-) I have cruised with my children multiple times in suite categories. (I’m looking at ship within a ship cruise lines). The big question is my son will be 19. I’m looking to take him on a vacation before he goes off to basic training. Will he be able to have the alcohol drink package that comes with most suites (not kid package or paid beer and wine) on any lines???
