My 16 year old daughter loved buying her dad a beer in ST. Maarten several years ago. You know you can drink for free at the jewelry shops, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other thread is about the age in the solarium, teen club, bringing wine on board, bringing cannabis on board. Nothing pertaining to the question asked and I know it’s been asked before. Like I said useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicat Posted February 1, 2020 #29 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Maybe that's why we don't go buy art. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoisGriffin1 Posted February 1, 2020 #31 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The ship really won’t care. In Lisbon I witnessed security carry one very drunk lady in her 50s back to the ship (her husband couldn’t carry her). It was very funny to watch because she loved being carried and was singing her heart out. it was our last port before 2 sea days back home so it was a good thing for her that they just wanted to get her back so the ship could leave.

Sorry, I misread your post...only had 2 sips of morning coffee. Perhaps you are going into the wrong jewelry shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeriomom Posted February 2, 2020 #33 Share Posted February 2, 2020 My 18yo got day drunk on a private catamaran excursion in St.Maarten, he successfully got back onboard DCL. In the future, we'll ensure he eats more before taking some bevvies for the walk back to the ship 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessBelle39 Posted February 2, 2020 #34 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We saw some pretty drunk 16 year old boys about to board their tour bus at Maho Beach on the way back to the ship. I'm really glad we weren't on the same bus. They must have got back ok and been allowed to board because our kids saw them in the teen club the next day.

Rare sparks1093 Posted February 2, 2020 #35 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The same issue comes up here on the northern border. The drinking age in Canada is 18 so many will sojourn north to enjoy a few. Even if they are noticeably intoxicated they are still allowed to return to the US.

It’s actually 19 in all provinces except Quebec, Manitoba and Alberta where it is still 18. Lots of Ontario students make the trip across the border to Quebec as well as Americans.

We have one particular jewelry store that we visit in a particular port. It is not one of the ones in the cruise line "shopper guide" though. When we go, we plan to buy and that is made clear when we arrive. Drinks are offered immediately and continue throughout our visit. But again, this isn't one of the cruise line recommended places that probably gets tons of "browsers" who are just looking for a free glass of champs and the cheap souvenir bracelet advertised in the shopper guide, LOL.
