Oasis of the Seas is Getting a Brand New Non-Smoking Casino

If you're a fan of smoke-free gaming, there's some great news coming out of Royal Caribbean. The cruise line's planning to add a dedicated non-smoking casino space to another one of its massive ships, Oasis of the Seas. This move continues a trend we've seen across the fleet to give players a cleaner, fresher environment to spin the slots and play table games without the lingering smell of cigarette smoke.

According to a report by Royal Caribbean Blog, this new space will offer a smoke-free alternative to the main Casino Royale. While the main casino will still allow smoking in designated areas, this secondary venue's designed to be 100% smoke-free, matching similar successful additions on other Oasis-class ships.

What This Means for Casino Royale Players

For those of us who spend a lot of time in Casino Royale, this is a huge win. Here's how it's going to impact your next cruise on Oasis of the Seas:

• More Machines and Tables: A secondary casino space means more slot machines and table games are available. During peak hours, especially on sea days, the main casino can get incredibly crowded. Having a second venue helps spread out the crowds, meaning you won't have to wait as long for your favorite slot or a seat at the blackjack table.
• A Fresh Gaming Environment: If you've ever had to cut a gaming session short because the smoke was getting to you, this solves that problem. You'll be able to earn your tier points and play through your free play in a much more comfortable setting.
• Same Loyalty Benefits: Don't worry about your Prime, Signature, or Masters benefits. Your tier status, free drinks in the casino (for Prime and above), and tracking for your next comped cruise certificate will all work exactly the same way in the new smoke-free space. You're still earning points toward your next free cruise while breathing clean air.
• Strategic Booking: If you're sensitive to smoke, you don't have to avoid Oasis of the Seas anymore. When planning your next cruise with your casino certificates, you can confidently book this ship knowing you'll have a comfortable place to play.

The Bottom Line

It's clear Royal Caribbean's listening to player feedback. Adding a non-smoking casino to Oasis of the Seas gives players the best of both worlds. Whether you prefer a smoke-free environment or want to stick to the traditional casino vibe, you'll have options. Keep an eye out for this upgrade on your future sailings, and get ready to rack up those tier points in comfort!
