I answered a very similar question for someone about two weeks ago and received a "Best Answer" for my response. I am happy to repeat that answer for you.
———————————
As a matter-of-fact, Princess is one of the only cruise lines I know that will allow guests to book at 18 years of age! They do not have a requirement that at least one guest be 21 years old.
However, you must be 21 years old to drink.
PS.
I just called Princess to make sure that I remembered correctly, and they re-confirmed that they will allow 18 year-olds on their own!
—————————————-
Now, as to the second part of your question, the absolute best answer I can give you is not to use a travel website, but to talk to a good travel agent. Tell him/her what your needs are, and that "you are looking for the best deal".
There is no additional cost or hidden fees for their services and you’ll have a name and a face to speak to, rather than merely inputting your name, address and credit card into an on-line form and hoping for the best! Personal service is everything.
As far as what’s included and what’s not included in your cruise price, here’s a little guide:
- Included – Ship accommodations, ocean transportation, most meals, coffee/tea/juices, most entertainment, and port taxes.
- Not Included – Any item of a personal nature including but not limited to: alcoholic beverages, spa and salon treatments, specialty coffees, shore excursions, gratuities, air transportation, transfers, photographs, medical services,
I alway find that planning my vacation is one of the most enjoyable part of my vacation. Bon Voyage!
I hope this information is helpful
Ooh, I want to know the same thing!

Don’t know of any cruise line that allows less than at least one 21-year old guest in a cabin.
Carnival wants either a 25-year guest or booked next to the parents cabin.

Good luck! Most cruises consider anyone under 21 a minor and they have to room with someone over that age (an adult) or have an adjoining or adjacent room.
When I went on Carnival in 2005, they used the 21 rule. I remember because I was 19 and I had to room with my older brother. But they could have changed that rule by now. Not sure.
