What is the curfew for Royal Caribbean cruises?

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 does not have a general curfew for adults, and most onboard venues like the casino, late-night clubs, and 24-hour eateries remain open well into the early morning hours. However, there is a mandatory curfew for minors (those under the age of 18). On most ships, guests under 18 must be in their stateroom by 1:00 AM, unless they are participating in an official supervised Teen Club activity. This "Youth Curfew" is strictly enforced by ship security to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all passengers. Additionally, certain "adults-only" areas of the ship, such as the Solarium or the late-night comedy shows, may have their own age-based restrictions throughout the day. If a minor is found wandering the halls after 1:00 AM without an adult, they will be escorted back to their cabin. It is always best to check the "Cruise Compass" (the daily newsletter) as the Captain may occasionally adjust curfew times for specific ports or holiday sailings.

Curfew policies on Royal Caribbean cruises can vary depending on the specific ship, itinerary, and any current health and safety guidelines. However, Royal Caribbean generally enforces a curfew for minors (guests under 18 years old) to ensure their safety onboard.

Typically, the curfew for minors is around 1:00 AM, but this can vary. Guests under 18 are usually required to be in their staterooms or accompanied by a parent or guardian after this time. Parents are responsible for ensuring their children adhere to these rules.

During certain sailings or in response to specific circumstances (e.g., health protocols or local regulations), curfews or restrictions may be adjusted. It’s always best to check with Royal Caribbean directly or review the specific cruise guidelines provided onboard for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
