I have never cruised on ncl. I always cruise carnival. I have been offered a free cruise on NCL through a Tropicana casino promotion. The casino on the carnival dream is mostly non smoking. the let it ride table specifially. Is the entire casino smoking on ncl.

I haven't cruised NCL since January, they have changed their smoking policy since then, I am not sure. There were 2 non=smoking nights in the casino the last time I sailed with them.

Was not really a distraction for smokers as the casino was on an open air deck and only a few steps away to have a smoke. I don't have aproblem walking away from a table for 5 minutes to have a smoke. The bar in the casino which was supposed to be non-smoking did have ashtrays available thru-out the cruise. Don't know if they use positive airflow to keep smoke out of gambling area. I will find out this January as I am sailing the Star out of Tampa.

When I was on the Jewel in February the casino was a smoking casino. It was the only place inside the ship you were allowed to smoke (Besides your cabin). I have read that as of Jan 2012 there will be no smoking in cabins but will be ok to smoke on balconies. Hope this helps.

I'd Hop on the FREE NCL Cruise Promo....We Got one Last Year from Harrahs/NCL and went to Mexico...All we had to pay was the Taxes, Port Fees and an Upgrade charge to a Balcony but it was Well Worth it...

 

Plus they gave us the Free Drink Card which I'm sure you'll get as well.....It Saved us Approx $500 for the 2 of us by Weeks End....WE LIKE OUR DRINKS!!:)

 

Plus DW hit a $4,000 Jackpot on Video Poker.....:D

 

It was our First NCL Cruise and We just booked another on the Pearl for next May to Alaska.......

 

The Casino was Smoking and I think there was One Non-Smoking Day....Were both Smokers but it didnt seem like the Casino was filled with smoke and if I noticed someone at our table seemed to be put off by smoke, We would step away and smoke.....
