If you're not staying at a hotel where you can park for the length of your cruise, you're probably parking at a deck or lot at the cruise terminal, and with some planning you can save on this too.If you are considered a “young adult” (meaning 18-20 years old) and you are sailing with a parent who signs a waiver, then you can drink wine and beer aboard the ship — but not cocktails. Passengers must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol.
