Carnival Cruise Line has implemented a new age policy for cruises departing from Galveston. Travelers under 21 must now be accompanied by someone over 25, with limited exceptions for married couples and military personnel.
People who want to take a Carnival Cruise Line ship from Galveston should be aware of a new age rule that might affect their plans. The shipping line said that people traveling alone must now be at least 21 years old, and anyone younger than 21 must have a chaperone over 25 years old with them.
Carnival said that only legally married couples and qualified military members can receive special treatment. Guests who don't meet the new age standard or show up to the port alone will not be allowed to board and will not get their money back.
The new rule will affect any Carnival ship leaving from Galveston, which starts immediately. The cruise line currently has five ships based in Texas: the Breeze, the Dream, the Jubilee, the Legend, and the Miracle.
This update is part of Carnival's larger plan to ensure that all of its guests have a safe and enjoyable time. People who want to travel should read the new rules before they book so they don't get cancelled or refused boarding.
