Responsible gaming
Gambling involves risk and you can lose money. Play only for fun, only with money you can afford to lose, and only if you are 18 or older.
House rules
Our rules
- 18+ only. Age and photo ID are checked at the entrance of the onboard casino and of every partner hotel casino.
- The onboard casino is only for guests with a cruise + casino ticket.
- Casino tickets are limited to 100 per sailing, and up to 70 guests can be inside at one time.
- Casino tickets cannot be bought on board, so the decision is made before you sail, not in the moment.
- No credit, loans or cash advances in the casino.
- You can ask the guest desk to exclude you from the onboard casino at any time. It takes effect at once.
- Staff can offer a break, information or help, and will step in if play looks harmful.
Keep it a game
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
- Never gamble with money you need for essentials, and never borrow to play.
- Gambling is not a way to earn money. Treat any loss as the price of the entertainment.
- Take regular breaks. A round in the arena or the arcade is a good way to reset.
- Don't gamble when you are upset, stressed or after drinking.
Self-check
