Thoie Posted April 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes, the casino has clearly marked smoking and non-smoking sections. Other than that, smoking is allowed in designated places outdoors on the port side of the Oasis class ships. Smoking is not allowed in Central Park or the Boardwalk.

leaveitallbehind Posted April 24, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Smoking is also not permitted on any balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksgarden Posted April 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I smelled only the faintest hint of smoke in the casino, and other than a few smokers on deck, didn't encounter anything related to smoking on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted April 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Unfortunately, yes. They still permit smoking on one side of the casino- except formal nights. Not true about formal nights. The casino has two sides: one smoking, one non-smoking. That doesn't change throughout the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. It's been a few years since I've been on an Oasis class vessel. It is too bad they allow smoking in the casino. Their ventilation system falls a bit short of keep the stank out of the non-smoking side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpyguy1 Posted April 26, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Tbh, the smoking in the casino thing is what is keeping me on rci at the moment. If it's stopped, I may as well be on any other cruise line paying less than on royal. But there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpyguy1 Posted April 26, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why do you care if people gamble? Royal care if people gamble. Hence all the sea days. It's their biggest source of revenue. Myself....... the casino is my holiday treat. I take money to lose ...... and i enjoy having that luxury. I don't go to casinos outside in the "real world". It's also great not to have to walk miles to a smoking area during your hours of fun x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2CatsInFlorida Posted April 26, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why do you care if people gamble? From an economic standpoint, gambling money could be better spent in the local economies the ships visit. But, it doesn't effect me if someone gambles responsibly, so have fun.

You're right, it doesn't affect you and you shouldn't care how others spend their money. Go clean the cat litter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a cheap souvenir to you, but it puts basic necessities on the table for local residents. Regarding the economic argument against gambling, I suggest you read a basic introduction to economics. We are on Oasis now with all the cheap trinkets we bought today in Jamaica.

We spend our money on excursions and restaurants that employ local residents with jobs. Clearly, gambling can have both positive and negative affects on an economy. I understand that. Yeah, their are people who are addicted to gambling that ruin their lives. Well their lack of self control turns into tax dollars for my city that helps pay for roads and education. So gamble away. I think you are over stating the impacts of Casinos. And if you are nit picking about Casino's then I'm sure you want to ban cigs and alcohol. You are merely arguing how people should spend their money. Should the government outlaw expensive vehicles so people might spend the money they saved at local shops/businesses? Should Royal Caribbean stop selling booze so people might spend more money on the islands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted April 26, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why do you care if people gamble? It's fire hazed. No wait.. it's a health hazard. Oops, wait again... it's smells bad. I think the US Govt should mandate that RCI confiscate any and all contraband related to gambling. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Society would be better off, if instead of taxing nonproductive gambling to build roads, the taxes came from income tax on productive enterprises.

BigHouseFootball Posted April 26, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It does make me wonder how much money Royal would lose if they banned smoking in the casino. Would it really be that much? I would think people who are going to gamble are going to gamble. Unless the thinking is if you can get a smoker in the casino just to smoke then maybe you get them to gamble a little during the cruise. On the other hand would that amount be made up by those who would go to the casino if if we're smoke free? My wife and I were talking about this on our recent Allure cruise. We would probably have spent time in the casino if it were smoke free but we avoid it entirely because of the smoke. It was bad enough waiting for the doors to the dinning room, which were directly across from the casino, to open every night that we couldn't imagine being in there for an extended period of time.

Smoking is allowed in the casino and various other areas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
