Smoking Policy

For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, our ships are designated as non-smoking; however, we recognise that some of our guests do smoke. Therefore, to provide an onboard environment that also satisfies smokers, we have designated certain areas of the ship as smoking areas.

Cigarette, cigar, e-cigarette and pipe smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas. To assist in locating areas where smoking is permitted, guests will find visible signage posted within all smoking areas and ashtrays that are provided for use. Outdoor areas near restricted areas, food venues, and kids play areas and pools will not allow smoking. On Oasis class, smoking is not permitted in Central Park or the Boardwalk neighbourhoods.

Casino Royale allows smoking and has a designated area for non-smoking guests. There will be visible signage indicating the non-smoking area in the casino. All cruises departing from China and Hong Kong will not have a non-smoking area in the casino. Smoking is not permitted in the casino for any ships departing from Australia and the United Kingdom.

Onboard all interior public spaces are smoke free*. Smoking is not permitted in any dining venue, theatre, bar, lounge, hallway, elevator, and jogging track.

Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom and any stateroom balcony. This applies to all stateroom categories onboard. If a guest is in violation of this stateroom policy, a cleaning fee of $250 USD will be applied to their SeaPass® account and may be subject to further action pursuant to the "Consequences Section" of the Guest Conduct Policy.

Cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco must be properly disposed of and never thrown overboard. Cigar and pipe tobacco is limited to designated outdoor areas and Cigar Bars**. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, possess or use tobacco onboard.

MAXED OUT ON THRILLS

Forget everything you thought you knew about cruising and get ready for next level thrills at every turn. You can kick off your day with a high-flying virtual-reality experience in Sky Pad®, then race down The Perfect Storm℠ duelling waterslides while little ones have a heap of fun at Splashaway Bay℠ – and that’s just on one deck.

THE PERFECT STORM℠

Grab a buddy and plunge through three storeys of twisting, turning thrills to the bottom of the dual racer slides Typhoon℠ and Cyclone℠. The conditions are just right – for The Perfect Storm℠.

SKY PAD®

Strap in, put on your virtual reality headset and soar high into the sky for gravity-defying fun at Sky Pad®. Whether you’re smashing sweeties in a sugar-coated world or travelling light years into the future – this brand-new bungee trampoline experience opens up a whole new universe of possibility.

SPLASHAWAY BAY℠

The fun comes in gallons. This bigger, better kids' aqua park features slides, water cannons, waterfalls and more. And when the drench bucket gets full, everyone gets wet.

Theatre

Spanning two decks, this Broadway-style performance space offers contemporary and Broadway-inspired shows, headline musicals and live comedy. Enjoy Broadway-style musical spectaculars at the fantastic onboard theatre, where colourful, lively performances will take your breath away.

Champagne Bar

TOAST TO VACATION

Whether you spent the day chasing onboard thrills or soaking up beachside chill, raise a glass of bubbly at the Champagne Bar and celebrate another day in paradise. From bold bruts to crisp cremants, discover your perfect pairing for good times at sea.

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU INTRO

The drink menu at the Champagne Bar is all about delicious sparkling wines from around the world, including cava, prosecco, cremant, and of course, Champagne. Order your favourite fizzy picks by the glass or pop open a bottle for the ultimate elevated evening.

PRO TIP

If you have a Deluxe Beverage Package, you can use it at the Champagne Bar.

Schooner Bar

LIVE MUSIC & MASTERFUL MIXING

Wrap up your night at Schooner Bar, where perfectly mixed cocktails and live entertainment come together in a warm-lit nautical-themed lounge. Cozy up in a seat under the mast, by the portholes, or right by the gleaming grand piano. The sing-along's about to being.

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

If you love a great old fashioned, you’ll find five versions of it on the menu at Schooner Bar, including a tropical twist that blends muddled cherries and pineapple with orange bitters and Malibu Coconut rum, and an innovative New Fashioned that brings in pink grapefruit, fresh raspberries, and a little bit of Southern Comfort. You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

PRO TIP

Up for something different? Let the bartender know what your favourite spirit is, and ask them to whip you up a surprise.

Boleros

SHAKE IT LIKE A CAIPIRINHA

Whether you’re stopping by for an after dinner drink or joining the salsa-stepping party, nighttime sizzles at Boleros. This Latin-themed club serves up Cuban mojitos, Brazilian caipirinhas, and your favourite classic cocktails to the sound of a six-piece band playing salsa, cumbia, merengue and samba.

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

You can’t go wrong with a classic mojito at Boleros, but everything on the cocktail menu here is worth trying. If you like your drinks on the fruitier side, try the kiwi caipirinha or the Fruitful Hurricane, made with white and dark rums, orange juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and grenadine. Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine. If you’re a traditionalist, go for the Dark Cuba Libre, a simple yet delicious trio of Bacardi 8 rum, lime juice and Coke. Or mix things up with a bubbly Sombrero Cooler, made with silver tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and sparkling wine.

PRO TIP

If you don’t want to miss a single beat, check your Cruise Compass for the band’s performance schedule at Boleros.

Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade

SCORE BIG ON FLAVOUR & FUN

With a menu of match-day favourites and icy-cold draughts on tap, anything you order at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade is a winner.

Casual

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Appetisers at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade are larger than life. Try the group-friendly Pile On Nachos, loaded with gooey cheese, sliced jalapeños, creamy guacamole, salsa and sour cream – you can add pulled pork or chilli, too. The Pigskin Sliders are also delicious. Stuffed with tangy BBQ pulled pork, they go great with an order of the garlicky Parmesan-sprinkled Playmakers Fries. If you’re a wing lover, you can pair your order with three different sauces – Buffalo, BBQ or Jamaican Jerk – each with varying levels of spice. And if you’re craving a great burger, Playmakers has two to choose from: the classic and a version with truffle cheese sauce. There’s also an Impossible Burger that’s out of this world, if you’re looking for a plant-based option that packs in plenty of flavour. Dessert here lives up to the hype, too, so definitely save some room. Go for the five-scoop Touchdown Sundae or the Campfire Cookie, baked with melted marshmallow and Nutella and paired with milk shooters on the side.

PRO TIP

Feeling ambitious? Take on the Playmakers Challenge: if you can eat 100 of the hottest wings in 45 minutes, you’ll receive a commemorative T-shirt.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Wine lovers will find lots of great options to enjoy by the glass at the Diamond Club lounge, from crisp pinot grigio and smooth chardonnay, to full-bodied cabernet sauvignon and sweet white zinfandel. If you’re in the mood for a beer, you can choose from popular domestic and international brews like Budweiser, Heineken and even Strongbow Cider. Want to sip on something stronger? Enjoy your favourite vodka, rum, tequila, gin or whiskey any way you like, or savour a glass of Campari and soda, some sweet or dry vermouth on ice, or a refreshing frozen drink.

Vintages

UNCORK ADVENTURE & RAISE A GLASS

Whether it’s malbec, merlot, riesling or pinot grigio, you’re sure to find all your beloved reds or whites at Vintages wine bar. From France to California, the wide world of wine is well-represented through extensive partnerships with top winemakers, including some exclusive bottles you won't find anywhere else.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Deciding what to drink at Vintages all depends on your own personal preferences. If you love a great reisling, try a glass of light and fruity Dürnberg from Austria. If sauvignon blanc is more your speed, the menu at Vintages offers several great options from Marlborough, New Zealand. Those looking for something richer and more full-bodied should try Two Hands’ “Gnarly Dudes” shiraz from Barossa Valley, South Africa, or a glass of Cheval des Andes from Mendoza, Argentina — a balanced blend of Malbec grapes and Bordeaux varietals. Celebrating a special occasion or just want to dial up your evening with something bubbly? Choose between delicious prosecco from Veneto, cava from Catalonia, or brut and brut rosé from Champagne.

PRO TIP

But if you prefer to unwind with something a little different, opt for one of the premium mixed drinks on the menu. The Kentucky Burgundy is a favourite among bourbon lovers. Made with Maker’s Mark, crème de cassis, fresh lime and strawberry mix, it strikes the perfect balance between spirit-forward, sweet and citrusy. Or keep things simple with an iconic Rob Roy, which spotlights Dewar’s White shaken with sweet vermouth. And if you like your drinks sweet and sour, go for the Washington Apple, a tart blend of Crown Royal, sour apple liqueur, and cranberry juice.

It’s a powerhouse triad of Belvedere vodka, Beefeater gin, and Lillet Blanc. If you love bourbon, try the Buffalo Manhattan, which swaps out whiskey for Buffalo Trace with sweet vermouth and a splash of Angostura bitters. And if you’re having trouble deciding between spirits, order the Boston Iced Tea Party, made with Tanqueray gin, Bacardi Superior rum, Absolut vodka, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix. Want to try something really different? Ask for a beertini or cockt-ale —mixed drinks infused with brews to create one-of-a-kind libations you can savour slowly..

Pool Bar

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Whether your go-to spirit is vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey or rum, you’ll find something delicious to sip on at the Pool Bar. Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime, or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

PRO TIP

If you don’t want to leave your lounger, an attendant can bring your order to you from the bar.
