go on a cruise in mexico and you wont even have this problem.

on the cruise i went on, your parents could sign something or whatever and you could buy alchohol if you were 18. but once you got off the boat a 5 year old could buy beer if he had american $ (in mexico and honduras anyway)

i went on a cruise line called princess. and you had to be 21. thats what teh sign says but i was served alcohol anyway. i was only 16. but like everyone said, in mexico they don't care how old you are as long as you have money. my aunt and i went to every tequila shot in cabo and got free shots. o and they have some good herb down there too. luckily my cousin looked a bit older than me. and sorry to everyone for throwin out a long story there

18 to gamble, 21 for everything else on the ship... first day was easy to get free stuff, from then on, just get cousins, friends, or parents to buy. On the islands they didn't care much (bahama cruise)

its like 11 miles out or something, and once they are in international waters (providing it isnt an american based cruiseship which most of them arent) they can make the rules whatever they want I'm pretty sure.

the one I went on, the drinking age was 18 on the ship, and once you got to land it was if you have american money, you're good

Dude it all depends on the cruise line, and the port of call. A lot of cruises that depart from Miami, maintain a 21 year old age throughout no matter if you are in international waters. And the reason for that is the federal government threatens to fuck florida in the ass with road funding.

usually 18 or 21 (But if your 16 and look old you'll get some)
international waters are 200 miles off shore
There are lots of laws in international waters.Zillions of them re pollution, safety, health, ect, ect
they are International laws established by the International Shipping Federations and Banks and LLoyds insurance ect ect and Most cruise Ships are Registered in Bahamas. Then they use Bahamian laws and insurances re drunk teenagers makes the ships liable if they served you liquor and you fall into the water.
or die vomiting LOL

In some of the nice-r resturants in mazatlan in mexico, when you are waiting to sit down there is a bucket full of like little baby 8 ounce pacifico bottles where you just help your self.
