Alcoholic drinks in any form will not be served to minors during the journey.
The drinking age onboard is either 18 or 21 dependent on sailing region.

When sailing from a North American Port or based in that region (Canada, US, Caribbean, Central America) we apply the 21-year age limit regardless of the nationality of the guest.

For all other worldwide itineraries, we will apply the 18-year age limit.

Example, for a journey commencing in Europe and ending in Canada or the US it would be 18-year age limit, for the journey in reverse it would be 21-year age limit.

We will not change the drinking age mid journey; it applies for the entire journey.
