Celebrity Cruises casinos
Celebrity's casinos are smoke-free and tuned to its more upscale style. Rewards lean toward cabin upgrades, spa and shopping credit, and free drinks while you play once you reach Onyx.
Terms with a dotted underline are explained when you tap or select them.
On the casino floor
Celebrity says its fleet has more than 2,500 slot machines and 185 tables across 103,000+ square feet of casino space. Many ships long used the name "Fortunes Casino." Celebrity's site now just calls it The Casino.
Atmosphere
Smoke-free floors. Celebrity's current Blue Chip terms give free drinks while you play from the Onyx tier up. Older reports said every tier got them.
Edge class
On the Edge-class ships the casino sits midship on Deck 4, set apart so you don't have to walk through it to get around.
Tournaments
Celebrity runs slot and table tournaments on many sailings. Check the daily planner on board.
Blue Chip Club
Celebrity announced a Blue Chip Club revamp in July 2024. Earning under the new rules began August 1, 2024, and the new tiers and benefits took effect August 1, 2025. Tier thresholds dropped sharply, but each point now takes $5 of slot play. The program year runs August 1 to July 31.
How you earn
- Reel slots: 1 point per $5 played
- Video poker: 1 point per $15 played. Celebrity's Blue Chip Club page and FAQ list $15 (it was $10 in 2025).
- Table games: based on game, average bet and time played (Texas Hold'em, Cash Crane and coin pushers don't earn)

Good to know before you play
- PayingCharge play to your SeaPass with a credit card on file. Celebrity's FAQ allows up to $10,000 a day with a transaction fee, and using shipboard credit in the casino carries a 5% fee. Onyx and above get cash-advance fees waived, and there's an ATM in the casino.
- Age18 and over, or 21 and over on Alaska sailings.
- HoursCelebrity doesn't publish hours. Like other lines, casinos open once the ship is in international waters.
- SmokingCelebrity's casino page calls its casinos smoke-free. An older conduct policy still mentions itineraries where smoking is allowed.
- Royal Caribbean linkCelebrity's FAQ says Blue Chip Club and Royal Caribbean's Club Royale don't share benefits or status. The two do share MGM Rewards and Seminole Hard Rock partnerships.
