Carnival Cruise Line has issued a firm reminder that gambling activities are strictly limited to designated casino areas on their ships, responding to passenger inquiries about private gaming gatherings.

Brand ambassador John Heald clarified this policy after a guest asked about organizing private games of Left, Center, Right (LCR) for money. While passengers can play games like LCR for fun or non-monetary prizes, any form of gambling involving real money must take place in the ship's casino.

This policy aligns with international maritime gaming laws, which restrict gambling activities to regulated casino areas. The rule applies to all games of chance, regardless of their simplicity or social nature.

For those seeking smoke-free gaming environments, Carnival has converted many "Jazz on 4" lounges into non-smoking casino rooms on select ships, including:

• Jubilee
• Celebration
• Mardi Gras
• Firenze
• Venezia
• Vista
• Dream
• Magic
• Breeze

Carnival's commitment to gaming excellence was recently recognized when the Carnival Celebration won "Best Cruise Ship Casino" in Newsweek's 2023 Readers' Choice Awards. The Celebration's casino features:

• Nearly 200 slot machines
• Multiple table games including blackjack, craps, and roulette
• Carnival's exclusive Fun 21 game
• Players Club rewards program offering cruise discounts and perks

The minimum gambling age aboard Carnival ships is 18 years old, and Players Club members can earn benefits including discounted cruises, exclusive event access, and complimentary drinks while gambling.
