Cruise line Carnival has approved a new change to its policy on young guests effective immediately, implementing a fleet-wide curfew for children aged 17 and under, a step it has taken to curb concerns caused by minors.
Guests 17 years of age and under who are not accompanied by an adult in their travel party, 21 years of age or older, must vacate all public areas by 1:00 a.m. each evening, unless included in a Club 02 or Circle C. adolescent activity,” the new policy states.

According to CruiseHive, the curfew was enacted due to incidents over the summer, when several physical altercations with minors were reported on Carnival ships.
Reported incidents of curfew-breaking are subject to investigation and may result in a warning or, depending on the severity, disembarkation upon arrival at the next port and even expulsion from the line. Minors, of course, will not be the only ones subject to these rules, but also their parents or guardians.
