<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nCarnival Cruise Line is reminding passengers that engaging in games of chance for money is prohibited everywhere aboard its vessels except the designated casino.<\/span><\/p>\n John Heald, Carnival\u2019s brand ambassador, recently responded to a guest inquiry about whether Carnival would set aside a private room where passengers could play a popular dice game called Left, Center, Right (LCR). The forthcoming passenger is booked to sail on Carnival Radiance for a 14-night voyage that departs Feb. 9 from Long Beach, CA. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n LCR is the most popular game after poker for Americans aged 50 plus. You answered [another guest] saying Carnival would not allow this to be played and enjoyed. I played LCR on another cruise line with 10-12 people for money [and was] provided a private room. Where is the actual harm in this?\u201d the guest pondered, as first reported by Cruise Hive<\/i><\/a>, a blog dedicated to Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruises.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Heald, who has been with Carnival for 35 years, said LCR can be played among passengers, but if real money is involved, it\u2019s banned. He says Carnival must abide by all laws and gaming statutes for international waters<\/a>, which allow for casino gambling only in designated, regulated areas.<\/span><\/p>\n Heald explained that any game involving cash is prohibited aboard Carnival Cruise Line voyages.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe do not allow gambling outside of the casino in any way, shape, or form. There are very strict rules about this. You can play LCR for fun or Twix bars but not money,\u201d Heald said.<\/span><\/p>\n LCR is a simple dice game with an outcome based purely on chance and luck. Players roll up to three dice. They move their chips to the person to their immediate right or left or to the center pot based on how the dice come up. Dice that don\u2019t have an L, C, or R means the player retains their chips. The last player standing holding chips wins the pot.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As Casino.org <\/i>reported last May, Carnival in 2024 converted many \u201cJazz on 4\u201d lounges into smoke-free casino rooms<\/a>. The gaming spaces are in addition to each ship\u2019s primary casino where tobacco use is permitted.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The following Carnival<\/a> ships offer smoke-free casinos \u2014 Jubilee, Celebration, Mardi Gras, Firenze, Venezia, Vista, Dream, Magic, and Breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n In November, Carnival Cruise Line\u2019s Carnival Celebration was named the Best Cruise Ship Casino by Newsweek\u2019s <\/i>2023 Readers\u2019 Choice Awards. Carnival\u2019s Mardi Gras ranked third behind Norwegian<\/a> Escape.<\/span><\/p>\n The Celebration casino has nearly 200 slot machines and a half-dozen table games offering blackjack, craps, roulette, and Carnival\u2019s own Fun 21. The minimum age to gamble on a Carnival cruise is 18 years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Along with the latest slot machines and table games, Carnival casinos<\/a> offer a Players Club that allows rewards members to earn discounted or free cruises, access to exclusive events, and complimentary alcoholic drinks while gambling.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Carnival](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carnival-Celebration-Mahogany-Bay-858x572.jpg\")
