klfrodo Posted September 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes they will. 18 or tall enough to see over the bar to get some drinks in the ports you asked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readytolose Posted September 18, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2014 yep, they will have no problem. We let our 18 and 19 year olds drink in Jamaica and Cozumel as long as they stayed with us. They couldn't go off on their own and drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes they will. 18 or tall enough to see over the bar to get some drinks in the ports you asked about. ^ :D That's actually very true. Keep in mind this is while off the ship. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2014 America is about the only country that won't let 18 year olds drink (anymore...they did when I was 18!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted September 18, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Canada's legal drinking age is set by the provinces or territories: Alberta 18 British Columbia 19 Manitoba 18 New Brunswick 19 Newfoundland and Labrador 19 Northwest Territories 19 Nova Scotia 19 Nunavut 19 Ontario 19 Prince Edward Island 19 Québec 18 Saskatchewan 19 Yukon 19 But I can remember when it was 21 in BC.

Rare LHT28 Posted September 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 18, 2014 But I can remember when it was 21 in BC. It was also 21 in Ontario when I was younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Kim Posted September 18, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The leagal drinking age in bars/clubs/resturants in Sweden is 18, but if you want buy alcohol with a higher alcohol % then 3,5% in a store you can only buy that at "Systembolaget" & you need to be 20 years old or older.

Jacs Posted September 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2014 In Australia you get to do everything when you turn 18, drink, vote and drive. Some states you can get your drivers license at 17 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancinman66 Posted September 18, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yeah ok orobs at ports just not on the ships Hope they enjoy themselves Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes, they will be able to have a drink in the islands. Seeing as they likely are not accustomed to much drinking at home (given the drinking age being 21), hopefully they will be careful and not over indulge. Jamaica is not a place young people should be walking back to the ship if they have had too much to drink. There are too many opportunities for 'misadventure'.

Jamaica is not a place young people should be walking back to the ship if they have had too much to drink. There are too many opportunities for 'misadventure'. I believe the OP is on RCI which will dock at Falmouth. The pier shopping and activities are within a secure contained area which also includes a Margaritaville. That would be the likely watering hole. Edited September 18, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sun~ Posted September 18, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It was also 21 in Ontario when I was younger That must have been in the olden days ;) The drinking age was 18, then bumped up to 19 about three years before I could "legally" drink :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocap Posted September 19, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 19, 2014 This doesn't answer the OP's question, but for others reading- many ships do allow drinking on board at 18- such as RCI, Celebrity and European ships, if the cruise doesn't start from North America.

Are you sure? My son is 20 and girlfriend 19 and I was told they couldnt drink on the ship.... not that they would drink much but maybe a Pina ColAda or daiquri.... are you sure they can have a drink on ship?
