In theory a youth card is coded to block alcohol purchases but in practice I don't know if it's just a red flag that can be overlooked or a hard system coding.

That would be nice in the future since I have a few minor D+ kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 18yo can legally purchase a shotgun or rifle (typically/hopefully for hunting). Anything else requires 21 up to legally purchase it. But to the point, the legal age in the US is ridiculous at 21. You can fight and die for your country, but you are not responsible enough to drink. The big issue is that states lose federal highway funding if they lower it, and that’s a big chunk of change.

I was drafted in 1970 at the age of 18. I wasn't old enough to vote but old enough to get drafted. I was lucky and was from a state that the legal drinking age for any alcoholic beverage was 18 years old. I was surprised how many kids I was in the service with that came from states where the legal drinking age wasn't 18 year old's.

Ownership is different than purchasing. You can OWN a gun at any age. You can't walk in and purchase one at any age, however. My son received guns as birthday gifts at 9yo, 12yo, and 18yo. He enlisted with the Army at 17yo, then shipped out at 18yo after he graduated high school. When he was 18yo, he could purchase vape fluid, but then a year later the age got changed to 21yo without a grandfather clause. He's now 22yo and buys whatever he wants. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted February 15, 2022 #33 Share Posted February 15, 2022 you will get the look of " you don't belong here" " who gave you the stateroom room" "I think he is cheating". and I won't even comment if you get a suite and get to that lounge lol.

If we do happen to go to a lounge, we are indifferent to people staring or looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunset Glow Posted February 18, 2022 Author #39 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Follow up - no one mentioned the cabin amenities for D+. My husband and I have a wine selected for ours. Should the 18-20 year old D+ members who will be sailing in their own cabin call and get an amenity put on their profile or will they even get this amenity? (Obviously it would be one of the non-alcoholic choices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtazz17 Posted February 18, 2022 #40 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Wow,somebody went cruising a lot as a child! Holy crap! 175 nights or so! Unless it was still under the double points system which ended when we started cruising😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was still under the double points system which ended when we started cruising😡 Lots of us took our kids cruising as they grew up. Mine were both "only" Diamond when they hit 18, simply because we did not start sailing RCI until they were 12 and 14, they had as many nights on Disney as they did on RCI at that point plus some another 50 or so between Princess, Celebrity, MSC and Carnival. So far none of us have had double points, but my now adult son and I will be on the Wonder TA getting double points, which will kick him into Diamond Plus status a sailing sooner than he would have otherwise managed.

Well, the age to purchase is 21 in every state and DC; it's still 18 in Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam (basically everywhere that doesn't get federal highway funding, so did not have to raise the age ti keep from losing funding). But, yeah, in practice that means most of the US, and that has led to RCI'S rules about North American sailings having a drinking age of 21, but if the cruise stops in San Juan, those 18-21 year olds can have a pina coloda on land.

The first-day money in the casino is for everyone, regardless of CAS level. It ranges from $2-$100 and is a random lottery type of thing, kind of like "every player wins" type promotions at McDonald's.... most people get a free small order of fries ($2 in the casino), a couple people get a Big Mac ($10 in the casino), and once in a while someone gets a year's worth of fries ($100 in the casino). The $6 for D+ is redeemable any day of the cruise, but the "extra" money is only available the first day, then it's lost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
