Epic casino and cigarette smoke

I believe I saw that the Epic has a 2 level casino that is open to the floors above, it also looked like there was a bar on a level above exposed to this open area. Am I mistaken? Also, does the cigarette smoke travel? On RCI one of my favorite bars is near the casino and on our last cruise the cigarette smoke was worse in the bar then the actual casino. We couldn't enjoy any of the activities, trivia, piano bar because it was so bad.

The Getaway is the same. Casinos in the center open floors above and open on the ends. Smoke just travels throughout the entire area into one open area Restaurant & The Comedy Club.

Most un enjoyable.

Someone recently who had just come off the Getaway (or it may have been the Breakaway) stated that the Casino was on two decks.

I'm not sure where all this has come from. The Casino on the Epic is on deck 6, just one level (and the Getaway is also on just one deck).

The smoke does apparently drift to other levels (I can't say I've ever really noticed it myself), but the Casino itself is on just one deck.

When we were on the Epic, we noticed the cigarette smoke was heavier than usual and lingered throughout the floor. We were on the Western Med. itinerary so there were a lot of Europeans on board who smoke and used the opportunity to smoke in the casino area even if they weren't playing.

There is a non-smoking area of the Epic casino that was surprisingly smoke-free on my November cruise. I spent much more time (and $) playing slots because I could breathe and not feel sick.

The Epic has a single level casino.

Yes you are mistaken. The casino is on deck 6. We never even noticed any smoke, either around the casino or on deck 7 above.

Thank you all, looking forward to our cruise.
