Here are CCL's policies on a few topics which you brought up:
http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/Age_Restrictions_on_Board.aspx

Are there any age restrictions on board?

Drinking alcoholic beverages:

Guest must be 21 years of age or older to be served alcohol on board. Proper I.D. with birth date is required.

Casino:

Guest must be 18 years of age or older to play the tables and the slot machines.

Guests are required to be 21 years old (on embarkation day) to travel. Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied in the same stateroom by a parent or guardian 25 or older. The exceptions Carnival will make to this policy are:

Married minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple is married. The couple must have proof of marriage at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund.

Domestic Partners/Same-Sex Union minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple are legal Domestic Partners/Same-Sex Union. The couple must have legal proof of partnership/union at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund.

Guest ages will be verified at embarkation. Guests not conforming to this policy will be denied boarding and assessed a 100% cancellation penalty. NO exceptions will be made at embarkation.

The Group policy is slightly different because of stricter group terms and conditions including mandatory chaperones, damage deposits and other considerations.

Please note that, if you are under 21, you must be accompanied, in the same stateroom, by a parent or guardian. 'Parent or Guardian' does not inlcude friends, classmates or buddies! I strongly suggest you call CCL and make sure you will be able to cruise if mommy, daddy or your legal guardian are not with you. And, get it in writing! I'd hate to have you guys get to the port, only to be denied boarding because of this requirement. You will not get a refund, as CCL will take the position that you did not meet the 'fine print' of the boarding contract.

And I don't care that you have 'heard of others who were underage and still sailed." That arguement will be considered urban legend and hearsay. CCL will fall back on the legal contract. Imagine thinking you got away with it and being half-way through the cruise when CCL finds out. You get thrown off the ship in some foreign country and YOYO (you're on your own)!
