I talked to RCCL customer service and I told them that on crusingpower.com it says that the casino age is 21 and the customer service guy called a lady who he called a "casino rep" for the cruise line and she said that she has gotten several calls about this today and it is still 18 to get into the casino and that she was going to tell cruisingpower to change it because it was a mistake.

Wanted to report back to let you know that the sailing we were on enchantment July 27th, did NOT have a restriction to the drinking waiver. My daughter is 18 and had no problem for purchasing alcohol on board.

We had ZERO problem bring alcohol and the whole process went smoothly for embarking and disembarking.

What I am going to do in December is let other people buy me alcohol and if someone asks show them my altered drivers license that says I am 21.

Did you read the consequences of trying to circumvent the new policies?

 

You might want to make sure you have alternate transportation back home from each of your scheduled port stops.

Good point! Their entire party needs to make sure that they have enough cash or available credit.

rs license that says I am 21.

 

U.S. Immigration requires both a birth certificate (original or certified) and a current DL. If the dates on one do not match the other, you will very likely not even been allowed to board.

 

These people are not idiots and a fake ID will not solve your problem.

 

Nice of you to risk someone else's cruises so you can drink, BTW:rolleyes:.

I know that I can't use my fake ID to get a seapass that says I am 21. I never intended on doing that. I'm only going to use it once I am onboard. I'll just get someone else to buy me drinks. If someone asks to see my ID then I'll show them my fake one. Does that make sense?

Not to me, but then I have a problem with putting someone elses vacation on the line. The new policy holds them responsible for buying your drinks and can result in action being taken against them. IMO, that is selfish and irresponsible behavior.

Everyone is taking this whole getting kicked off thing too seriously. They aren't going to notice and even if they did they wouldn't care as long as I wasn't causing trouble. Why would they even question me if I had an ID showing I was 21?

 

It's not like I am forcing them to buy me alcohol either. They are going to do it because it will be more fun for everyone if we can all drink together like we usually do.

I don't care. I booked with the understanding that I could drink and that is exactly what I am going to do.[/quote]

 

....... and you wonder why some folk think people under 21 are irresponsible? With that attitude it gives others who are under 21 and are responsible a bad image

spectatorsport: First of all, by December the staff will have seen it all in terms of kids trying to get over on the new policies. Do you really think you will be the first? The only ID they are going to accept is a Seapass card.

 

What makes you selfish is putting someone else at risk, be it a staff member who could lose their job for serving you or one of your buddies who thinks it's no big deal.

 

I sincerely believe that they will indeed enforce these policies and am thrilled they are finally doing so.

No one is going to serve me. They are going to serve an adult who is buying a round of drinks for the group I am with. They aren't going to notice that one of them is for me. They will have no choice to accept my drivers license if I don't have my Seapass with me.
