The lowest minimum age requirement for any cruise line is 18.

The following cruise lines require that at least one person in each cabin is 18 or older: Cruise West, Cunard, Fred. Olsen Cruise Line, Oceania, P&O Cruises, Peter Deilmann, Regent (Radisson) Seven Seas Cruises, SeaDream, Star Clippers, and Uniworld.

The following cruise lines require that either
1) All passengers in a cabin must be 18 or older, or
2) If anyone in the cabin is younger than 18 years old, someone in the cabin must be 21 or older: Disney Cruise Line, GAP Adventures, Silversea and Viking River Cruises.

The following cruise lines require that at least one person in each cabin is 21 or older: Azamara, Celebrity, Costa (25 for March and April sailings), Crystal Cruises, Voyages of Discovery, Hurtigruten, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Seabourn Cruise Line.

The following cruise lines require that either
1) All passengers in a cabin must be 21 or older, or
2) If anyone in the cabin is younger than 21 years old, someone in the cabin must be 25 or older: Carnival, Holland America and Windstar Cruises.

One exception to these age requirements is often made for underage married couples, who as long as they are both 18 are allowed to board unaccompanied. These couples may be asked to show proof of their marriage. This exception is based on individual cruise line policy.

Your age on the date of sailing is generally considered your age for the length of the cruise.

the majority of cruise lines it's 21. cruise lines like royal caribbean, carnival, princess, norwegain etc, it all 21 or older.

there has to be atleast one person 21 or older in each stateroom, UNLESS its right across the hall or next door, they will make an exception for groups traveling together.

You have to be 21. Look on any of the cruiseline websites, they all say the same thing. Except for Carnival where you have to be 25.

Different cruise lines have different requirements, which can usually be found on their web sites. Or, talk with your travel agent.

I would say 18 as your old enough to get a passport without anyone signing for it at that age. My son traveled to Mexico alone from age 16.
If your old enough to earn the money to go then why can't you go?
