Military Traveler Question

[SSInsigne]

So here's the situation: I am in the military and I turn 21 at the beginning of June. I want to plan my cruise for late June, early July. Awesome, works for me. Here's my concern though. My girlfriend is only 20 and won't turn 21 before the cruise.

 

I found this while researching:

 

"Qualified Military Personnel

Applies to US Military Personnel and Canadian National Defense personnel (and their traveling companions in the same stateroom) of 18 – 20 years of age.

Copy of proof of service must be submitted."

It says, "traveling companions" of 18-20 years of age. So my question is does this mean that I can take my gf who is 20 on the cruise since I am in the military?

Every other place I looked I thought the <20 thing only applied to the military member him/herself and their wife/husband.

Call Carnival three separate times and ask them directly. That’s a very unique situation. I say 3 times in case you get different answers.

A fair reading of the wording means that the military member and traveling companion can be 18-20, but I agree that it is best to call to verify it.

Yes....the only reason for that clause is to make an exemption for military and their travel partners who are under 21.
