39august Posted August 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2023 So how is the vaping in the casinos now that the "test" is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I thought the test was to run through August 20. Having said that I doubt there will be any announcement and vaping will continue. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted August 16, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I also believe the vaping will continue. But I would like first hand reports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sensitive and am considering other options if this becomes the new norm. TIA Edited August 17, 2023 by Luvcrusn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numnums Posted August 17, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Please share any other lines that are vape/smoking free along with the boats. Wish there was more encouragement in stopping vaping/smoking, or anything that produces secondhand in general but that requires a higher power, lol.

Samantha Posted August 17, 2023 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2023 @bookitdanno thank you for the link. Good to know there are 6 HAL ships with non-smoking casinos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebels82 Posted August 17, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Oceania has smoke free casinos. Yes, it is more expensive but we love no lines or reservations needed for Main Dining room, no or very short lines to get on and off of ship, towel covered pads on lounge chairs, Speciality restaurants included, and wonderful service. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted August 17, 2023 Author #19 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Thanks sunshine bob. Good to have current info. How about signs noting that vaping is allowed? There were signs in the casino on EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTexCruiser Posted August 17, 2023 #20 Share Posted August 17, 2023 NCL Bliss and Joy have smoking only in an enclosed space of the casino--the rest of the casino is smoke free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgee Posted August 17, 2023 #21 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I sent email to Celebrity Executive complaining about any plans to allow vaping. Within 72 hours had phone call from someone in the Executive Office asking me to describe my concerns on a recorded conversation that would be shared with the decision makers. I worked hard to state my concerns in a calm clear way but did state that I absolutely will not sail with a cruise line that allows smoking or vaping in the casino. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doghog Posted August 17, 2023 #23 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Just boycott the casinos. Of course that's easy for me to say as we don't gamble and would have no problem avoiding the casino to get to where we are going. Do it all the time on RC. But we are against the idea of vaping anywhere inside of Celebrity ships. I also have emailed the executive office when this vaping experiment first was reported here on CC.

HAL bans casino smoking on their older ships (except Zaandam) supposedly because of the way smoke drifts to entertainment areas. The list includes Zuiderdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Oosterdam and Westerdam. All ships newer than these allow casino smoking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
