There are no regulations in international waters. You should however point out that he will be barred form a large part of the ship and his parents will be informed.

I live and work in a casino in Las Vegas and if you look young then the guards will come over and ask for your id, and if you can't come up with it they will ask you to go, because they penalty's can be very hard on casinos who allow young people under 21 to play. But if your fake id is cheesy I'm sure they will see right through it and he will be baned from the casino floor, but i wouldn't think anything else would happen to him.

I doubt anything will happen to him. They will know he is under age because his age will be disclosed when booking the vacation. If they think his ID is fake they will probably check his cabin number and immediately know he is a minor. At that point they will probably simply ban him from the casino area, confiscate his fake ID, and notify his parents. I doubt anything more will happen. I find it hard to believe they will lock him in the brig and hand him over to authorities when they get back to America. It's not worth the hassle to them. Besides I question if you can be prosecuted for under age gambling in International waters.

On Carnival Cruises everything is done with a Sail and Sign card. This gets money out for the casino, its your room key, and you use it when you buy anything on board. This automatically goes on the credit card that you use to pay for the cruise. I have never had my id checked but if the cruise has something like the Sail and Sign they might check that and notify his guardian. I think other than that they would probably just ban him from the casino area. He will probably get in more trouble with his guardians than security.
