WATCH HEREGuests 20 and younger must travel with a relative or guardian who's 25 or older, though the guardian doesn't have to be a legal guardian.
The cruise line said they'll be verifying ages at embarkation and guests who aren't complying will be denied boarding and "no compensation will be provided at embarkation."

Exceptions are made for married couples and military personnel from the U.S. and Canada who are at least 18, as long as they provide proper documentation.
The change goes into effect as spring break and the summer, big cruising seasons, are approaching. The previous age limit for solo guests on Carnival was 18.
Other cruise lines, like Royal Caribbean, already had a minimum age of 21 for unaccompanied guests in North America.
