Pinballs83 Posted October 7, 2023 #1476 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Seems like the non side it was hard to find one less than 50c a spin. I just get up and move if someone starts smoking next to me. Edited October 7, 2023 by Pinballs83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it was on the Regal recently. If you wanted to smoke in the casino it was in a designated area and you had to be gambling. First ship I've ever been in where smoke from the casino was not polluting the air in surrounding areas. On the Caribbean Princess last winter, smoke from the casino drifted into Crooners so much that sitting at the bar was like sitting in the smoking section.

Lucky TGO Posted November 21, 2023 #1478 Share Posted November 21, 2023 This is what happened on the Star Princess from someone smoking on there balcony. It must be one of the main reasons why your not allowed to smoke on your balcony. The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most entertaining sights I viewed was, an 5' woman finished a cigarette in less than five minutes, and hurriedly shuffle off in a blue sequin mermaid dress.

Smoke was coming out of the casino on the Discovery, smell was strong clear down by Crooners. 😖 One of the servers told us they were supposed to keep the doors closed but never saw them closed.

To be honest I'm not sure. However, It does seem to me that, during the first part of the cruises, I noticed smoking when I walked through the port side of the casino. There was a bank of machines over there and I "think" I noticed smoke the one time we walked through that side of the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Smoke on the Discovery was obnoxious this week. They need to upgrade the air filtration system. We used to live in Nevada, and most of the casinos were not nearly this bad.

IndyKid Posted December 19, 2023 #1498 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Most cruise lines loathe the idea of banning smoking in their casinos because they fear the loss of revenue. But I understand that Celebrity is 100% smoke free, so I'd be curious to know how much of a hit Celebrity takes, if any, over its sister brand Royal Caribbean?

Don't know or care about the dollars (way above my pay grade) but the casinos are always busy on our Celebrity cruises. Celebrity banned smoking fleetwide in the casinos in 2008. Not sure when they did away with the Cigar Lounge (possibly the same time, 2008) formally known as Michaels. Now known as the Retreat Lounge. A Suite guest lounge. Kudos to Celebrity for not allowing inside smoking. Edited December 19, 2023 by doghog 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
