Casino sizes on ships?

[helene109]

We are just off of the Breakaway and it had a good size casino. Booked Escape! Is there a website that lists how many machines or sq Ft? Thanks again!

I have sailed Escape, same basic ship..casino is very nice.

I have no idea about number of machines or sq ft, but from what I saw earlier this month; on the Escape the casino is huge......

The Away and Away+ class ships have nice sized casinos with a variety of machines & tables.  Sometimes you can find a youtube of someone walking through the casino that gives you an idea of what is available.   

 

OP has a good idea here.  Would be nice if CAS or some savvy cruiser would list the approximate number of machines/tables.   I am always watching for trip reports that show pictures of the casinos.  We want to know if they still have our old favorites or perhaps have they added some of the newest slots?

The Escape’s casino is a bit larger. 
 

It includes the space used by Shanghai Noodle on the Breakaway. 
 

There is a larger space on the opposite side of the ship. 
 

And the Casino Bar is combined with the space of the Bliss lounge on the Breakaway. 
 

So, overall, the space feels bigger with more machines.

Great thanks! I will have to look it up on YouTube. What is the Bliss Lounge? Trying to remember it.

Hopefully it has a nonsmoking section!

Heard that smoke in the Escape casino can be a problem. True?

That was my experience. It smells all throughout the atrium up and down as well. I hear they may be going smoke free like other cruiselines, I really hope so.

It's a casino. It allows smoking. Not quite as bad as Royal ships where the casino door is across the MDR door. Only the newest NCL ships have a smoking casino.

The Bliss is the ultra lounge Next to Bar 21 (Casino Bar) across Shanghai Noodle. Night time dancing.

just to clarify...  the newest NCL ships have non-smoking casinos, with a glass enclosed smoking section. the older ships, sadly, allow smoking throughout (except during a relatively brief covid cessation).
