Sunday golf Posted March 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2022 If we book a cruise in Alaska will 21 be the age to drink or is it 18 as it is in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted March 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Alaska is in the United States. I would have thought it highly unlikely that it would be 18. I can't think of a good reason why it might be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted March 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) The legal drinking age depends on which state one is in and sometimes depending if one is with family or not. I believe AK is 21. Edited March 26, 2022 by Gourmet Gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted March 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I think it states that 21 is the age to be serviced on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredandTravel Posted March 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Yes the legal age for drinking in the US is 21, it was 18 when I was young. I viewed it more as a guideline or recommendation than a law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it has nothing to do with where the ship is.... country or state, it's Silversea's stated onboard policy. Here is an extract from the Silversea website... Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol. Silversea reserves the right to refuse to serve anyone who in its sole judgment may be under the influence of alcohol, or for any reason necessary in its judgement to preserve the health and safety of guests and employees. Oh yeah, there is no mechanism to 'permit' a parent or guardian to allow an underage person to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages.

If you get cut off on a luxury cruise line you seriously need to get some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but don't really see why you've identified luxury cruise line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredandTravel Posted March 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Its the only kind I've cruised on. Younger group on some of the ships with larger attendance might be more likely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
