What are the table games, in the casino, on the Allure.  Also, how bad is the cigarette smoke.  Thank you:  Matt

Just as bad as the other ships or on land!

The casino on Allure has a smoking and non-smoking side. That said, there really isn't anything to stop the smoke from drifting, so it's still smokey.

Having a non-smoking side of the casino is like having a non-peeing section of the pool.

It is better than it has been in the past.

Smoke in the Casino is bad. Even when it's shut down on port days. A lot of smokers use the casino as their smoking lounge.

On the Grandeur, the casino is not open from 8:30 PM on the last day of a cruise until Day 2 of the next cruise.  Despite that 36+ hour hiatus, the casino is ALWAYS full of smoke.

The smoke in the casino is really bad. Other than not having a burning cigarette next to you, the smoke is the same on the "non-smoking" side as the smoking side.

I tend to disagree.  In my opinion, the smoke has gotten worse. Years ago there used to be a smoking ban on formal night. Haven’t seen that in many years.  The casino is often listed as a dedicated smoking area. The only indoor smoking area on board .  On land casinos there are players who smoke.  On the ship, there are smokers who don’t play.  On RCCL ships ( somewhat quoting respected CC Host Bob) the indoor smoking area sometimes allows gambling. 

 

Op - in our experience, the smoking side  had more and often newer machines. There are tables on both sides but not nesessarly the same games. 

 

Good of luck and have fun.

That still happens on some ships now.
