Oceania Cruises is now rated R.

[hardcorestitch]

It’s adults only on Oceania Cruises starting in 2026. That means NO ONE under 18 is allowed on its ships. Any preexisting underage bookings before Jan 7 will be honored.

Do you live for looking for doom & gloom??????????

How's that Rated R?

I've been on two Viking cruises, no kids under 18. While those old duffers drank us under the table every night it was hardly a R rated situation. I've heard worse language/behavior that could qualify for Rated R at Disney Springs.

Besides, aren't there other venues and/or cruise lines that are 18 & over? How does this make Oceania rated R and not them?

Good grief. That thread title is completely ridiculous.

The ENTIRE cruise is such… not like Disney where there are some parts that are 18+ but you don’t have to be 18+ to even be ON the ship…

So are Viking and Virgin, and select other cruises for some other cruise lines...

They're not even the first cruise line to go 18+ - Virgin and Viking are already 18 and older, while other cruise lines cater specifically to older demographics, even if they don't specifically restrict children.

I can't imagine there were a lot of children on Oceanic cruises in the first place - it's a line that is primarily an older crowd.

Dudebro quit it with the alarmist click-bait threads. Adult-only cruises have been around for years, nothing new and it doesn't make them R-rated.

 

[Smugpugmug]

Doesn't it get annoying to be called out for making clickbait title threads? Or do you just like posting threads with incorrect titles?

Hey, at least they are letting 18, 19 and 20 year olds on board. Carnivals Adults only cruises are 21 and up. No big deal, just a theme cruise basically. Theme cruises are common.

This made me laugh, I was wondering what on earth could be going on at this cruise line

While I agree, if people would quit responding to him, he might stop. Doubt it, but possible.

This isn't too unique...

Holland America is 65+ only. It is rated G for geriatric.

LOl. My wife and I took a Princess cruise at the end of September. At 68 we were two of the four people in our group under the age of 75!

@hardcorestitch You've been asked this question in multiple threads. Are you ever going to answer it?

 

[E&Cmom]

Odd take. Luxury brand adult cruiseline rated R.

Is there a reason we can’t get past the ridiculous thread title and have a conversation about the subject matter at hand?

Is there really that much to discuss? A high end cruise line which probably has very few children on board decides to formally make itself adults only? Not really news, IMO.

I agree. We sail predominantly with Regent Seven Seas, which doesn’t have restrictions, and doesn’t really cater to kids when there are some, though sometimes at holiday time and summers in Alaska, they’ll organize a few things during those periods.

Hilarious thread title. I sailed Oceania once and me & my friends were the youngest people onboard save for 1 kid. And I even think they belonged to one of the officers and were just visiting to spend time with their dad. So it's actually funny to me that they would single out that 1 kid. Like who cares?
