Took less than a minute for a search:

 

There is discussion there about the various ships.

 

Also covered in the FAQ on the HAL website: https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/faq.html

 

Beat to death here...

We were on the Eurodam last week, and really liked the fact that there was no smoking allowed anywhere inside, including the casino.

The FAQ page from HAL is not up to date. The list from Atlantacruiser72 is current except that both both new ships Kdam and Nieuw Statendam allow smoking in the casino.

HAL needs to update their faq page.  What a disgrace to put out important (to many people) misinformation.

Zuiderdam was non-smoking indoors in September.

And having taken less than a minute to research, you turned up with outdated information. At least provide correct information if you're going to be so salty with your response.

We just returned from 7 days on the Nieuw Statendam.  The smoking was heavy in the casino and the ship layout with an open atrium right in the casino allows the smoke to permeate large areas of decks 2 and 3 including the shops, Lincoln Center and BB King Blues Club.  Our first and last time on the NS.

Thanks for the update on the smoking in the casino on the NS.   It would be nice to have a new list of all ships that still allow smoking in the casino.   We just got off the Zuiderdam on 12/20 and the casino was no smoking and very busy.   I would think Holland the casino operator would see the benefit of better revenue with no smoking.  Just my 2 cents,
