Just booked first RCI cruise......alcohol waiver

[doemichael]

As title says just booked on Voyager of the Sea for September sailing from Barcelona.

 

I will probally have loads of questions but first is..............

 

Daughter is 19 so I know I can sign waiver so she can drink alcohol onboard as we are sailing from european port, does anyone who has used this know is it ALL alcohol or limited to wine and beer? I ahave had conflicting information and RCI website and brochure does not mention restriciton to wine and beer but when TA phoned RCI to book cruise they mentioned it. Also as I say she is my daugter but we have different surnames so how will I prove I am her mum ?

I believe the waiver is only for wine and beer.

Copy of her birth certificate? Notarized statement? Same things you would have used to register her for school I would think. (Although I have kids about the same age and have NO memory of ever proving anything about my relationship to my kid- and he is adopted and looks nothing whatsoever like me.:confused:)

You say the information is conflicting, but I'v never read anywhere that on the ship now you can drink if you are below age 21.

 

Maybe you could post the information on the RCL site you are seeing that shows minors are allowed to drink as I have not seen this for years.

It is all alcohol not just beer and wine on your cruise just make sure when you check in that the agent puts the waiver on your daughter's account. The agent forgot to do that with my son's waiver and it caused a lot of embarassment on the ship.

 

You dont have to prove you are her mum, the waiver says parent or guardian if I remember correctly.

I am not sure about the alcohol but a friend took her duaghter on a RCI cruise, they both had different surnames and it caused a lot of problems. They almost did not let them board (this was a med cruise). In their case the child was a minor and I am sure this is different for over 18"s. I would check though as American laws may be different in that respect. I am sure there was a previous thread about this as I had to look for information last year prior to taking my grandson. We are the same surname but thought we better take a notarised letter just in case, we did not use it but it was there if required.

 

We did our first cruise last Sept got the bug and have booked for next September 2 weeks Caribbean cannot wait. I am sure you will have a ball and this sight is a god send for information.

Some cruises and ports that you will be visiting might request more information. There was a thread a while back that had mentioned, and I forget which cruise, but because it was a specific "cruise" you had to bring a notizied statement for the parent or other parent if you were taking your/the child out of the country. However, I am pretty sure that was required for minors (yonger than 18). This might be the confusing on the statement.

 

Is it different for some cruises than others in regards to the alcohol? I do not know first hand but I have read on many posts that it is only beer and wine. Could it be that European cruises allow all alcohol or is it Caribbean cruises as well? This also might be the confusing going on with the regards to the alchohol.

think it will be easier to just tell her not to drink lol

[Elizanessie]

Just for future reference-

 

18-20yr olds can drink all alcohol on European cruises as long as the waiver is signed by parent or guardian and by the person who needs the waiver.

 

18-20yr olds on Caribbean cruises cannot drink alcohol at all.

Except in port ;)

Sailed on Navigator last year from Southhampton -son and his girlfriend both 18 and I had no problem signing for both of them -no questions asked about name differences.:)

lol. I am sure. I still have a few years to worry about this. Plus I do not think in this economy European cruises are in this future. By the time we do this DD and DS will be paying their own way and old enough without a waiver.
