Did you know -- casino ??

Did you know that you can now use the casino at age 18?

 

Per the current passage contract:

 

"No Guest under the age of 18 shall be permitted to engage in any gaming activities on board any ship or to purchase cigarettes or tobacco products."

 

From the previous passage contract:

 

"No Passenger under the age of 21 shall be permitted to engage in any gaming activities on board the ship. No Passenger under the age of 18 shall be permitted to purchase cigarettes or tobacco products."

Uh oh. I'd better watch out for those kids! ;) Does this mean the servers will have to ask for IDs now?

FAQ for the Casino on the Princess website says that you may be asked for ID in the casino:

 

Admission

 

Persons aged 18 and over are permitted to gamble or linger on the casino floor. Proof of age may be required.

Interesting I just bought casino credit for an upcoming cruise not an hour ago and on my confirmation it stated usable by any person in the cabin 21yrs and older.

Are all the cruises in the same region?

Who knows? It is only a general FAQ on Princess' website. I kind of suspect it is a misprint that happened with the website revamp recently.

In Australia the age is 18 to be classed as an adult. There are several Princess ship sailing from and back to Australian ports. That may explain it

We traveled with our twin nephews back in November when they were just 20 years old. They were carded for alcohol, which they weren't able to order but there was a sign in the casino that any person 18 years or older could gamble in the casino. This was a Pacific Coastal cruise.

 

Of note, we went to the happy hour and they were told they were allowed to stay in there with us while they enjoyed their virgin drinks. They were not allowed to use their cruise cards to purchase anything in the bar, even soda or water, since they were under 21, albeit by just a few weeks. All charges, even for non-alcoholic drinks, had to go on our card. Yet again, they had no problem with them gambling in the casino.

Just received and email from a TA that states that the Casino age on Princess is now 18.

 

It also said that you can now book a cruise for someone who is not on the current cruise. Just see the Future Cruise Consultant. Does this mean you can now buy A Future Cruise Credit for someone who isn't traveling with you?

never saw anyone ejected from the casino regardless of age. if they "look" old enough, enough said :rolleyes:

That would be interesting, would be nice if we could. Anyone able to find out for sure?

No, it means you can actually book a cruise for that someone and they would get the benefit of a FCC. It does not mean you can purchase FCCs for that someone and not book a cruise for him/her while doing so.

To represent our country and fight and possibly die for the United States of America. What age is ok to do this?

 

Fighting that one armed bandit seemed like a life and death struggle. Princess finally understands its a young persons game. :rolleyes: :)
