Alcohol/ID Question

[JES11583]

Sorry for the dumb question, but I cannot remember for the life of me..

 

but while on ship, do I need to carry my ID/Drivers license around everywhere with me for when I want to purchase a drink? I am in my mid-20's, so ya never know if they think I look too young or not...I just cant remember what I have done the past couple of times... I just dont remember if I had to take it everywhere.. do they have a system to where they know and dont ask each time?

 

thanks in advance!! :)

If you look young, bring your ID with you as well. The cards are tagged with your age, but I have seen them also card people who don't look to be of age.

I was never carded on my last cruise in October...and I am 26...and still get carded for movies, restaraunts, etc.

 

Maybe when they run your Sail and Sign card they have a way of knowing...???

Your S&S tells them if you are 21 or not.

thank you both.. and thats what I am thinking.. Maybe they will mark it somehow.. I dont remember my past cards having my age on them tho... I will have to go dig thru my keepsake boxes.. I keep all of my vacay junk..lol..

 

I dont look tooo young.. but I do get carded at the most random times (which is fine by me).. but the less I have to carry around.. the bettter!.. but also, my friend who is 25, she is shorter (like 4'11), so hopefully they will have a way of knowing, rather than IDing alllll the time..

 

thank you! :)

thank you Frank! I just dont remember from my last cruise (2007) if it mentioned it or not...

You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at the card - it's in the computer. :)

When they run your sail & sign card it will tell them if you are old enough to buy alcohol. But they can still ask for ID if they think you look younger than 21.

I went on a cruise wo years ago and I was 19 and never got carded then I went on a cruise in Dec for my 21st birthday and I never got carded so. But I would say you dont have to take your ID around with you.

[Thirsty Cruiser]

To keep things simple, pick a bartender or server and stick with him/her. Even if you are asked for ID initially, you will not have to do it again.

 

Also, if you are planning on visiting the disco, bring your ID. They generally do not accept the S&S card as ID there if you look young.

I was 24 on our last cruise and I got carded a few times even though my sail & sign had my age on it. So always carry it I say. Plus they sometimes card at the entrance to the disco/nightclub

Got carded once on the last cruise. More accurate would be to say I was asked if I had a photo ID with me. I looked at the bartender like she had 4 heads and said "no... do I need it?", and she said no its ok. Carried my license with me the whole time after that but noone asked again.

I'm no where near young enough to be carded anymore, but I always carry my DL with me cause if you win a single jackpot of more than $2000 you have to present your DL before you can claim it, and it's a complete hassle to leave the machine go back to the cabin go back to the casino.........
