18+ · Play responsibly
Responsible gaming
Gambling involves risk and you can lose money. Play only for fun, and only with money you can afford to lose. A holiday should stay a holiday.
Our rules
- 18+ only. Age and photo ID are checked at the entrance of the onboard casino and the partner hotel casinos.
- The onboard casino is only for guests with a cruise + casino ticket.
- Casino tickets are limited (70 per voyage), and no more than 50 guests can be in the onboard casino at one time.
- Casino tickets cannot be bought on board, so the decision is made calmly before you sail.
- The partner hotel casinos at Coron and Boracay are open to adult passengers only and follow local rules.
- Our staff can offer a break, information or help. You can ask to be excluded from the onboard casino at any time.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you planned, or trying to win back losses
- Hiding how much you spend or how long you play
- Borrowing money or selling things to keep playing
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling
- Missing family time, meals or island trips to keep playing
Safer play on holiday
- Set a money limit for the whole trip before you board, and leave cards in your cabin.
- Set a time limit and take breaks. The beach is never far away.
- Never chase losses. A loss is the price of the entertainment.
- Avoid gambling when you are tired, upset or have been drinking.
- Children are never allowed in the casino areas, including as observers.

Ask any casino host or the guest services desk for a break, a self-exclusion from the onboard casino, or a quiet place to talk. You do not need to explain why.
