Carnival Cruise Line strictly prohibits gambling activities outside designated casino areas on all its vessels, as clarified by brand ambassador John Heald in response to recent passenger inquiries.

While games like Left, Center, Right (LCR) can be played for fun, any gambling involving real money must take place within the ship's casino areas to comply with international maritime gaming regulations.

Carnival's casino offerings include:

• Nearly 200 slot machines
• Multiple table games (blackjack, craps, roulette, Fun 21)
• Minimum gambling age of 18
• Players Club rewards program
• Both smoking and smoke-free casino areas

In 2024, Carnival expanded its smoke-free casino options on nine ships: Jubilee, Celebration, Mardi Gras, Firenze, Venezia, Vista, Dream, Magic, and Breeze. These spaces complement the main casinos where smoking is permitted.

The cruise line's casino amenities have earned recognition, with Carnival Celebration named Best Cruise Ship Casino by Newsweek's 2023 Readers' Choice Awards. Players Club members can earn benefits including:

• Discounted or free cruises
• Access to exclusive events
• Complimentary drinks while gambling

This policy enforcement ensures fair gaming practices and compliance with international maritime laws while providing passengers with regulated casino entertainment options.
