Carrying ID

[PhotoK]

I'm a Young looking 26 year old (even more so in shorts and bikini's) am i going to spend my entire cruise pulling out my id to prove my age?

Not on board, to be sure... The Sail and Sign card, the thing that you make all purchases with, is flagged for those under 21. You'll be fine.

You will be OK.

My sons who are in the 30 year but look younger range are often asked for ID.

 

I would plan to carry it.

You need a picture ID and your S&S card for ports. On the ship just your S&S card

My daughter and many others would be out of luck if they took your advice. She was 24 last cruise and had to go back to her cabin and get photo ID before they would serve her - not a big deal but they would not accept just the S&S card - anyone can have anyone elses card as there is no photo on it. I would have DL just incase if you are that young looking

I agree with Tbay-eh. When I go in the night club, I always notice security making some people go to their cabin to get their ID.

The disco is the only place asked for your ID onboard and that is because after 11 pm you have to be 18 to be in there. To drink, you are not carded because as Host Mach mentioned (and he would know) it is included on your S&S card. Off shore you will also be fine. I am 22 and have never been carded EXCEPT entering the disco. You will need your ID with your S&S card to get back in the ports though.

The photo is there when they swipe it, just like when you get on and off board.

I am 31. On my past couple of carnival cruise, I was asked for id in the casino, buying alcohol, going to the disco (which you only have to be 18 andi was 30). DH and I were stopped by security getting pizza at 3:30am for violating curfew.

 

Also, I also get the unlimited soda. They put a sticker on your S&S card. For females, if you are married your name says Mrs. and Ms. if single. Mine says Mrs. I was refused service when ordering a coke because the bartender thought I was using someone else's card. He said I was too young to be a Mrs. I was 31.

 

I carry my id with me.

when I went I never got asked for my ID. I was 22 at the time and looked even younger than that!

[Chigirlcruzin]

I'm 35 and get asked for ID from time to time. Keep it with you.

I can see having ID for the disco or casino but not the bars for ordering drinks. As soon as they scan your card your picture will come up so they know it's you.

I'm a young looking 27 and I have not been asked for it onboard. In most ports, they don't care how old you are but I always have it there anyway because I need it to get back in the port area.

i entered the poker tournament, and my actual ID was requested. i am 40 years old so I know it wasn't because I looked underage. :( My S&S card was not enough. :confused:

 

so yes, they can still request your ID. I usually let dh hold my ID or just leave it in the safe until it's needed or we are in port

Glad I came across this thread, will have too keep that in mind for my DD on our upcoming cruise. Shes 21 but gets mistaken for 12 all the time, she gets so mad because they don't think shes a teen. Even gets stopped by truancy officers about once a week, I think its hilarious but she doesn't see the humor.

[Martini Mom]

Just be happy they are asking for your ID. When you stop getting carded, it'll be a sad day. ;):)

Where's that "Like" button?

I have never had to hand over my card when ordering drinks - the waiter just writes down the number.

I feel your dd's pain!

This question is pointless without pictures - especially bikini ones!! :D:D:D
