Royal Caribbean Royal Caribbean's teen activities regularly run late at night until 1 a.m. -- and even later for older teens. But with the exception of these activities and spaces, on most 2022 Royal Caribbean sailings, ships have set a curfew of 1 a.m. for all cruise passengers 17 and under.

Royal Caribbean enforces a youth curfew of 1:00 AM for all guests under the age of 18 unless they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. This policy is designed to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all passengers during the late-night hours. After 1:00 AM, minors are expected to be in their staterooms or participating in an official, supervised youth program event, such as those hosted by the Adventure Ocean youth center. Security personnel actively monitor public areas like the pool decks, arcades, and hallways to enforce this rule. While parents have some flexibility earlier in the evening—and can even bring minors into certain bars and lounges as long as they aren't "adult-only" events like late-night comedy—the 1:00 AM threshold is a strict standard across the fleet. This allows adult passengers to enjoy the late-night nightlife while ensuring that younger guests aren't wandering the ship unsupervised. Failure to comply with the curfew can lead to the "Guest Conduct Policy" being enforced, which may include warnings or, in extreme cases of repeated disruption, restricted access to certain ship facilities for the remainder of the voyage.
