Just got off the Enchanted this morning.  Take 5 was not open and I was told it's going to be casino space with smoking.

That is very disappointing if that's what they do. It will make Take 5 a place I won't spend any time in.

I don't think it will even be called Take 5 any longer?

So basically they've expanded the indoor smoking area into once was a comfortable lounge. It's hard to believe.

I suppose they have a smoking and non smoking side. 😉

and if "most" casino players have a package - why make it easy to get an already paid for drink?

 

I guess to keep gambling?

The more people drink, the looser the pockets tend to get. It definitely benefits the casino to have alcohol readily available.

I was really looking forward to spending a lot of each evening in Take 5 on our cruise next year. Bummer.

 

But if nicotine abuse will be permitted in that space, how does one get to the theater without smelling like an ashtray?

It will be the Non Smoking slot area, like on other ships

Not my photo but my Mother is currently on the Enchanted and it should be opened mid week

😭 The jazz in Take 5 was so nice to listen to each night. It was full most of the time, and the bar staff was great!

Are you sure? someone a few comments up said they were told smoking WOULD be allowed in the new area....

Boarded Enchanted last Saturday, June 15. The slots area in Take 5 is NON smoking.

 

Does not appear to be any space for a band/group to play. Did not notice loud ‘sounds’ coming from the slots, but also not many were utilizing the machines.

Great about non-smoking, hoping they will still find room for a band

I have only walked through during the day. The machines are turned on but no one was playing the slots. It looks like 1/2 the space was taken. I see chairs but no bandstand. I will try to remember to check it tonight.

Additionally, I have seen nothing scheduled on the patters for that venue. It does still show under Dining, Bars and Lounges with hours from 5:00 PM to late.

We absolutely love Take 5, and on both ships that have it, it was full every night of our sailings! I can’t believe they’d remove it. I say this as a slot player who’s never had trouble finding a machine in the existing casinos onboard.

As this is a non smoking venue, many will prefer this venue to avoid the smoke.

Here’s a photo from the entrance near the theater. As @BamaVol said, there is no jazz or any entertainment in Take 5 on this cruise.
