js Posted August 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi. I currently have my ds in my/dh cabin for our August 2018 Allure cruise. He will now probably bring a friend, and they will both be 20. Will I need to have my dh/son's friend listed in one cabin and then my son/me in the other cabin? I'll be calling today or next week so I wanted to make sure I have all my information correct before I call and change us. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Guests under age 20 can be booked alone in a stateroom as long as that stateroom is next to or across the hall from the responsible adult. You have to call to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Gurl Posted August 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Make sure the room is directly across the hall. RCL rep gave my daughters the room directly across from the cabin next to ours in violation of their own policy and then caught it 3 weeks before sailing, resulting in some last minute stress.

js Posted August 4, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thank you both. The inside cabin will not be directly across the hall since we are in a balcony on the Allure and trying to all get Deck 6 since we are multiple families (my mom, my sister's family and my cousins and their families). I also have a dd in an inside cabin on Deck 6 but the ages in the cabin are 24 and 25. Clarea, your post said "under 20" need to be in a cabin across the hall, how about if you are actually 20. Do you need to have across the hall, yikes, they are in college and certainly no longer across the hall from me any longer LOL but I understand the rules. I would prefer to have everything exact on paper and don't want to have the stress as you did, AZ Gurl. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call the cruise line, maybe they can work with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna2407 Posted August 4, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thats some crazy rules... i was married at 20 😯😯 imagine me having to have my parents on board!! Sent from my SM-G925F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted August 4, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thank you all and thank you for the link. There needs to be someone 21 or over in the cabin so we will just have to have my dh/me in each cabin on paper. Since this will be the case, I can still have my ds's account charging on my credit card and his friend's charges on his card, correct? Thank you all again!

Rare OCSC Mike Posted August 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'll add this to my list of ridiculous things you can't do at 18 in this country while being allowed to join the military and die for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted August 4, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 4, 2017 If you have to book an adult in each cabin, then switch once onboard, it's not a big deal. Once you're booked, they don't care where anyone sleeps. All they're doing is making sure there are responsible adults onboard with the 'underaged" people...even tho 18 is a "legal adult"...stupid rules.

Yes, I understand, hoped I didn't need to do it but I guess I do, just glad we can take the kid's friends. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted August 4, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) I'll add this to my list of ridiculous things you can't do at 18 in this country while being allowed to join the military and die for it. Yes. When I joined US Army at 18 you could drink, actually I was 17 and could on drink on post. But think was in mid 1980's changed to 21... As other poster stated, my Daughter 18, Son-In Law was 19 were married, did Honeymoon on Brilliance on their own. At one time 18 yr olds not married could cruise Royal on their own. Was ok in 1988 as we had couple 18 yr old girls traveling together at our table, high school graduation present from their parents. But not sure when the Marriage requirement under 21 started.

Active duty military and married couples over 18 are OK to be in a cabin without someone over 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
