We are taking the Royal Princess Transatlsntic cruise leaving Barcelona, Spain onOcyobet 31, 3027. Wondering about tour recommendations (private tour recommendations and contacts as well) for our ports: Valencia, Cartagena, Gibraltar, Seville/Cadiz, Santa Cruz De Tenerife, Canary Islands. We are in port at Gibraltar from 8am-11pm and Santa Cruz De Tenerife from 8am - 9 pm. Most of the Princess tours end very early. From experience, we have often been able to find far better tours for equal or less money than going through Orincess. Any advice and/or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I do not believe it is a US law that comes into play here. Other cruise lines, Crystal for example, allow 18 year olds to purchase alcohol if in international waters at least 3 miles off the US shore line. Others, allow it if the ship embarks from a country where legal drinking age is 18. The policy between cruise lines varies greatly. I appreciate the feeling that 18 year olds are not old enough to drink. This person is quite mature and would be traveling with quite responsible parents. In any case, I will pass it along to his parents and they can decide whether they want to risk it or not. Thanks again!

We are trying to plan a cruise with out European friends who has an 18 year old son. Legal drinking age in his country is 18. Princess policy does not allow 18 year old to drink regardless of Embarkation Port or being in international waters. We were wondering how strictly they enforce the rule. Would there be a problem if his parents purchased and gave it to

him?

Princess has many rules (eg, saving pool chairs) that they do

Not enforce. Assume they would not allow the young man to purchase with his card but wondered if an adult purchased how closely they would monitor.
