Military cruisers?

[Out to sea!]

Have a question that maybe someone can answer. I believe (but do not know for a fact) that the person booking a cabin must be at least 25 years old or married to the second person in the cabin if under 25. Does this rule also apply to military members? My daughter (active duty Navy) wants to go on a cruise with her boyfriend (also active Navy). She is 19 and he is 21. Can they book a cabin on their own??

 

They are currently cruising on the USS Abraham Lincoln and have had no problems with that cruise!

Unfortunatly,,, No. Only on Uncle Sam sponsered cruises :)

Hey MSgt..... Nope we can defend our country @ 18 but cant go on a civi cruise till 25:cool:

You can book a cabin if you are 21 or over .. its the fact that both need to be 21 or over is why someone needs to be 25 .. or married.

 

Maybe RCL allows it .. I would check their rules.

ADGuyMG is correct! They're good to go, but just have to send in their documentation.

EXCELLENT! It would really "suck" to be able to serve our Great Country, but not be able to cruise.

When I was VERY young, many many years ago, I reenlisted in the U.S.M.C. the first time, and the reenlistment officer stated "well, I guess you'll head over to the club for a few drinks tonight to celebrate". I had to reply,,,,"NO SIR,,,I'm not old enough yet"! (I was 20, and the drinking age at that time, in California was 21!) :eek:

 

"SKY"

I was a medic in Vietnam in 1969 and was 20 when I got home. Couldn't believe I couldn't legally drink but it was OK to be shot at for a year. Gotta love it!:rolleyes:
