Does Royal Caribbean have poker?

Shuffle, roll and spin your way to big wins at Casino Royale?. If table casino games are your preference, you'll find all kinds to choose from, including Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Poker, Baccarat and many more.



Yes, Royal Caribbean is well-known for its robust poker offerings within its Casino Royale facilities. Most ships in the fleet feature at least one or two dedicated Texas Hold'em tables that host live cash games throughout the cruise, typically with $1/$2 or $2/$5 blinds. Additionally, Royal Caribbean hosts various poker tournaments during the voyage, including "Single Table" satellites and larger "Main Event" tournaments with significant prize pools. One of the most famous events in 2026 is the Royal Poker Tournament, where players can win a "free cruise for two" and an entry into a final tournament with an estimated $100,000 prize pool. For those who prefer a more casual experience, many ships also have video poker machines and "Ultimate Texas Hold'em" (a house-banked table game). Note that the poker room is only open while the ship is in international waters; it will be closed while the ship is docked in port. You must be at least 18 years old to play in the casino, though some Caribbean itineraries may require you to be 21.
