What Cruise lines don't have gambling? We are thinking about doing a cruise, but I want one without a casino.

Hello,

I believe American  Cruise Line, Disney, Lindblad, and Windstar don't have gambling.   

 

Right now I am looking at maybe American Cruise line for me and DH (64 and 71), but are there other lines to look at too?  I live in the middle of the USA are we are looking at cruises that wouldn't be to far away or too big a time change to get to.  We would prefer a cruise close to a week in length and would like to get a balcony.  We're not looking for a luxury cruise per say, but for example for the 2026 cruises we are looking at on American Cruise line they run between 7K and 8K a person for that (small ship and American crew, etc.)  We don't FYI want to go higher than that price point.

Viking does not have casinos.

NCL's Pride of America in Hawaii doesn't have a casino.

 

Cruise ships with casinos may actually be a bit cheaper.

Viking and Disney, quickly come to mind.  7-8 K a person, for a 7 day cruise, opens up just about any option.  You can cruise for a lot less, if you simply stick to a basic balcony cabin.

Why do you want a cruise ship that does not have gambling.?

We also have no interest in donating money to the cruise line, so for us the benefit of not having a casino is it permits additional space for things we do like. Also don't like walking through them with the constant noise and lights.

 

Viking is a great example, as with no casino they have more quiet lounges with books throughout the ship.

Not of interest to me so we don't want this either.  Would I sail on a ship with a Casino?  Would not be my first choice.  This means that valuable real estate of the ship is being taken up by something that we don't use.  I would rather there be more specialty restaurants or other amenities.

DH likes gambling and I want him to stay away from that on any vacation he goes on with me.  I don't gamble.  He'd like to do a cruise vacation again with me, but knows that I absolutely refuse to go with him on any ship with a casino (I don't see him enough - he spends too much time there - I won't make that mistake again ever), so that leaves a cruise without a casino or no cruise if he is vacationing with me.

 

We mostly do land vacations to the Western USA, national parks, things like that on vacation.  He'd like to mix it up and try another cruise and would be cool with the ship not having a casino (knows that's the only option I would do) and I told him I would research options (I'm the main family vacation planner as I enjoy things like that).

 

Thank you everyone for all the replies!  Appreciate knowing more options for this.
