Casino...is smoking allowed?

[Minniemouse37]

Do they allow smoking in the casinos? No one in my family smokes...just curious if they allow it or if there are designated smoking areas on the ship.

Smoking is allowed in the casino, and there is one part of the pool deck that is a designated smoking area.

Not sure about the smaller boats but on Oasis class they split the casino in half so that there's a smoking side and a non-smoking side. As is the case with any open room that's "divided" into smoking and non-smoking sections, there is some cigarette smell that drifts over to the NS side, but it isn't very strong. I actually found the ventilation on Harmony to be impressive in that respect. If you can't handle cigarette smell at all it might still be too much for you though.

I was impressed on Allure too. My mom insisted the slots were looser on the smoking side, so she played over there. I tried to stay with her, but it was too much for me. I'm asthmatic and was ok on the non-smoking side. We've also been on Jewel of the Seas and I think she also had a non-smoking side. But if I remember right the ventilation wasn't that great.

I've never been able to figure out how one determines that a slot machine is "loose". But I've always been a table games guy, so I suppose I've never put in the work to figure it out.

Did she win?

A lot more than I did! She always wins though. I think the gambling gene skipped a generation

Yes- one of our friends insisted that the smoking area slots were paying better , too! So, we went with her to the smoking side. While not horrible, there were a lot smokers and I wasn't happy breathing it all in! Our clothes smelled of smoke ! The non smoking side was pretty good. We tended to stay near the entrance- so farther away from the smoking area.

I hear you! We're the "donators" so that the machines will pay off for others!

We think it is based on the ship? We were just on the Ovation 11/ night and it was not allowed in the casino at all which we loved.

Not allowed on ships sailing out if the UK thanks to UK smoking laws!

 

[Lesverts]

I don't like casinos exactly because smoking is allowed there. I don't know why. Can't it be forbidden like in restaurants? Is it that hard not to smoke for several hours or go out if needed?

Go to Celebrity. Interior of the ship is 100% smoke free.

I believe that at least some of the Oasis class ships have a separate, smaller casino that is totally non-smoking.

I think they were trying it on a single ship. I'm not sure it's rolled out to others yet.

Looks like it was originally on Wonder of the Seas. This year they have been converting Jazz on 4 into smoke free casino rooms.

Celebrity is trialing allowing vaping in the casino on a couple ships.

Smoking may just return based on feedback of the trial.
