Celebrity Cruises
Casinos at Sea
We will be on the Celebrity Constellation in April 2020. I printed my Xpress pass and on the pass I am listed as Amethyst for the casinos. This is only own 7th cruise all on Celebrity and we actually do not gamble a lot per cruise. Celebrity Cruises Casinos. Celebrity Cruises may not have the biggest fleet in the world at 11 cruise liners, but the company does know how to lay on a casino cruise. Each of its four new Celebrity class cruise ships – Constellation, Infinity, Millennium and the Summit – has a Fortune Casino onboard.
The experience of cruising is unlike any other type of vacation. Just imagine what it feels like to turn 360 degrees and see nothing but mesmerizing ocean and majestic scenery. Or to rise to the wonders of a new destination each morning as your every need is catered to. These are moments that can only be experienced on a cruise.
Celebrity Cruise's casinos offer blackjack, American roulette, Caribbean stud poker, craps and a wide range of video and reel slot machines. In addition, blackjack and slots tournaments are held on each voyage. While onboard, check your Celebrity Today daily program or your stateroom television for details.

The International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL) is a nonprofit trade association consisting of the 17 largest passenger cruise lines that call on major ports in the United States and abroad. The ICCL is dedicated to helping the cruise industry provide a safe, secure, fun and entertaining ship environment for its passengers. Among the services that illustrate the commitment to fun entertainment are the gambling casinos found on most of the ICCL member vessels. These industry guidelines address the equipment, conduct of games, internal controls and customer service for casinos on cruise ships.
The guidelines generally foster the following goals:
- To provide reasonable rules by which all gambling onboard member vessels is conducted to ensure fair and professional gaming to the highest level of integrity to the player.
- To provide internal controls upon which passengers can rely to assure them that the gambling is operated with the utmost integrity.
- To provide a form of entertainment for passengers that is responsive to the customers' requests.
