My girlfriend and I want to go on a cruise over spring break. Which cruise line should we go on?

I'm over 21 and she is under, but we both want to drink. Are there any options for us?

We are also only looking to spend about $250 or less per ticket.




Answer :
The $250 is going to be your limiting factor, especially over spring break. If you can find a cruise for that price, it will almost certainly be on Carnival. I'm afraid you'll have problems even with Carnival though because I just looked the other day for my sister. Here's a good website to compare prices; you don't have to book with them, but feel free if you want. www.cruise411.com. Pretty much all websites offer the same prices, but some offer some small perks.

I wouldn't worry about the drinking age. I've never been carded on a cruise, and even if they do card, they'll let you buy for her as long as you don't announce that you're buying for an underage person. Seriously, you'll be in international waters where there is very little law, there are no cops on board that want to bother with that sort of crap, and they want you to have a good time. Just don't be stupid about it.

Edit: Alright, I guess things have changed since I was under 21. It has been a long time after all. I am still confident that, if you buy drinks, nobody will have a problem with both of you drinking so long as you behave yourselves.





Answer :
If you're talking about seven days, in spring break period, there's no way you'll find a cruise for < $250 each. Even if the fare alone were that low, you'd have to add port charges, taxes, government fees. Then there's also $10 per passenger per day in tips, alcohol/soda, excursions [even if you just "grab a cab" in each port], etc. It adds up.

In addition, you'll have age restrictions. Carnival isn't possible. NCL often costs more [even tho it's a lesser-quality cruise] and so is Royal. The cruise lines want to avoid "spring breakers" if possible, as they tend to disrupt other passengers, especially the family demographic the cruise lines depend on.

She would not be "legally" able to drink. The key cards are coded as to > or < 21. You could, of course, buy drinks to give to her, and as long as you didn't get rowdy it probably wouldn't be a problem.

Spring break time is a popular and expensive time to cruise, especially if you're talking about Easter week. Lots of public schools have vacation time in February and March. Those cabins have likely already booked up.





Answer :
She will not be able to drink. You must be 21 or older to drink.

for a price range that you're asking for, you're going to be limited to a 4 day cruise, maybe.

If you are planning on going on Carnival as others have suggested, I hope you are at least 25. Carnival has a higher age requirement.

If you aren't 25+, your choices are very slim because you will have to go with RCCL or NCL, but then you will probably not find anything more than a 3 day cruise to the bahamas and back.

Even if you are in international waters, These ships still obey US law when it comes to alochol.






Answer :
She will not be able to drink but you will. Also, aside from just the cruise fare there are other expenditures. Alcohol and sodas are generally not included and many ships add gratuity to those items. Shore excursions are not free. Internet service is not free. I can't think of a line that would fit your budget.






Answer :
Kyle is 100% incorrect regarding alcohol on cruises. The drinking age is 21 if you are on an American ship and they do card. My husband and I are in our mid twenties, and we were carded on Princess for both drinking and at the casino. They track your age through your cruise card, which takes your details from your passport. Being in International waters has nothing to do with it.

You're going to have a hard time finding a cruise for that little money. You may find one through Carnival, but I think they require one of you to be 25+. Spring break is an expensive time.
