A few specific casino questions RCI/Celebrity

[udamom]

I recently sailed on Harmony of the Seas and very much enjoyed that half of the casino was true non-smoking. (Not a few machines scattered right next to smoking machines the way most cruise casinos are)

I am wondering if all the Oasis class ships are like this? I play video poker mostly so am looking for non smoking video poker area that has Ultimate X

 

Second question- I know Celebrity ship have complete non smoking casinos and am thinking of moving some of my cruising over there (via offers I have on URComped) but looking at online pictures of the casino I cannot tell for sure if they have the game I like. Can anyone tell me if they have played or seen Ultimate X video poker on Celebrity ships? (it is usually on Super Star or Super Star2 VP machines)

Thanks in advance for any answers!!

Bummer I guess no one so far knows the answer to either of these questions 😐

Ovation of the Seas had two Super Star machines in the non smoking section a few weeks ago - I think there were two or three in the smoking section.  Celebrity Summit had a few Super Star or All Star (not sure of what theirs were named) in May of this year.   I look for them, too - like being able to switch off to other games and I love that Celebrity is totally smoke free.  I sailed on Silhouette last year and they had a couple that were in a corner - didn't find them until the second day - had the most uncomfortable stools ever, but those may have been changed.

Thank you Sandy! Will put those ships on my list to look at!

Yes being able to switch out to different games makes VP more fun!

You didn't ask about NCL, but you might want to look at new ships Bliss, Joy or the about to launch Encore.   The Bliss has a totally glass enclosed smoking area in the casino which has been duplicated on Joy & Encore.  That leaves about 2/3 or more of the casino smoke-free and from what I have seen every NCL ship (except POA)  has SuperStar with Ultimate X.    (We cruise 4 times a year with NCL Casinos at Sea.)

 

We loved the casino on Bliss and have now booked Joy & Encore.    You rarely smelled smoke unless you happened to be walking by the doors of the smoking section when they opened.

Thanks Sand and Seas, I have sailed on NCL for about 10 years through CAS also. Went on the Bliss last year and did like the separate casino smoking enclosure. Right now I am trying out other cruise lines booking through UrComped. Royal had UX VP on both ships I was on so I'm kind of assuming they have it on all their ships. Liberty was a super smoky casino and Harmony much better with the separation of smoking and non-smoking. I was hoping someone else would chime in if all the Oasis class ships have a good sized non-smoking casino.

I'm looking forward to trying Celebrity which is the next cruise I'm booking

thanks for the input
