The Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver Form

[Demonyte]

Mrs Frog doesn't drink alcohol. If we book a UBP promo, can I put my young adult daughter with a Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form as passenger two, and allow her to have wine by the glass from the UBP, with Mrs Frog getting the soda package?

 

No, the age limit to UBP still applies (21 normally, 25 on spring break season on non-European cruises).

That could turn out to be an expensive drink if they caught them and put them off the ship.

 

Recently sailed on the Sun (February) with my two daughters - 20 & 22. The typical protocol is that, upon registering in the terminal, they cut off the corner of the ship card for anyone under 21 so that the individual cannot buy alcoholic drinks. If you want to sign the waiver, you can do that at customer service once on the ship and they will replace the cut card with a "complete" ship card that has a large "PC" in the corner so that the 18-20 year old can buy beer & wine.

 

This time, when we checked in, my 20 year old daughter noticed right away that her key card, given to her at the terminal, did not have the cut corner...

 

As guests of the casino, my older daughter and I had free drinks in the casino. After the first night, our regular waitress was taking orders from my younger daughter as well and simply putting them on our comp account.

 

About halfway through the cruise, the waitress quietly pulled me aside and said that "someone" had noticed that my younger daughter was not yet 21 and we would have to go to customer service to get the "PC" key card so that she could be served beer & wine. Not a problem. I seriously doubt that we were ever in danger of being removed from the cruise for ordering a few drinks for an adult who's a sophomore in college.

 

At the same time, if a person were making a "scene" and it was determined that they were ordering drinks while underage I think the situation would be rather different.

I read about a family on here (probably fifth hand information by the time it was posted but still worth noting) where the younger kids (18, 19 or whatever) were attacked by another group of kids (who were drunk). Security found out that the kids that were attacked had been served alcohol and the family was put ashore at the next port, just as was the other family.
