Royal Caribbean Smoking Rules in Casino Areas

Most Royal Caribbean ships now limit smoking to designated casino zones and outside decks. The casino floor is one of the few indoor spaces where smoking is still permitted, but the rules are strictly enforced.

Players must stay inside the marked perimeter, and electronic cigarettes are treated the same way as traditional cigarettes. Crew members patrol regularly, and anyone caught outside the zone receives a warning followed by a possible fine or removal from the casino.

Designated Smoking Zones

Each ship has a clearly defined smoking section inside the casino. The area is usually separated by a low partition and fitted with powerful exhaust systems. Signage at the boundary reminds passengers that smoking is not allowed beyond the carpet edge.

  • Casino entrance doors remain smoke-free zones
  • Slot machines closest to non-smoking areas are non-smoking machines
  • Cigar and pipe smoking is banned everywhere on board
Casino note: live tables, slots and cashback change often — recheck terms.

How the Rules Are Enforced

Security officers scan the casino floor every 30 minutes. If smoke drifts past the partition, they ask the guest to move. Repeat offenders can lose casino privileges for the remainder of the cruise.

Tips for Smokers

Light cigarettes only inside the marked zone and use the provided ashtrays. Keep an eye on wind direction on open decks to avoid drifting smoke into non-smoking areas. Remember that e-cigarette vapor is also covered by the policy.
