Age Policy Change?

[Master0396]

Does anyone know if they recently changed the cruising age policy?

 

"Royal Caribbean International's minimum age to sail unaccompanied on sailings originating in North America is twenty-one (21). The minimum age to sail unaccompanied on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand is eighteen (18).

 

The Company retains the right, on rare occasions, to raise the minimum age to sail unaccompanied on any sailing when local laws require or permit such a modification."

 

How do we know when it is 18/21?

The policy changed a few years back.

 

As far as how do you know when it is 18 or 21, just go by what the policy says. If your sailing is from North America, then it is 21 to sail unaccompanied. I have not heard of a cruise that has ever been an exception to the rule.

I'm sure the exception for Europe is because of the drinking age....Shoot...some lines require you to be 25 if you want to sail alone!
