Does Disney Wish have a casino?

Disney Wish does not have an onboard casino.



Consistent with the entire Disney Cruise Line (DCL) fleet, the Disney Wish does not have a casino. Disney has intentionally omitted gambling facilities from its ships to maintain a strictly family-focused and "wholesome" brand image. Instead of the smoky, windowless casinos found on most major cruise lines, the space on the Disney Wish is dedicated to elaborate Broadway-style theaters, themed bars like the Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, and expansive kids' clubs like the Oceaneer Club. For adults who still enjoy a bit of "gaming," the ship offers high-energy Bingo sessions with significant cash prizes, and various "game show" style entertainment in the adult-exclusive lounges. This "no-casino" policy is one of the primary reasons DCL remains a top choice for families, as it eliminates the adult-only gambling environment and replaces it with immersive storytelling and entertainment that can be enjoyed by guests of all ages, day or night.
