No Smoking in Explorer of the Seas Casino here in Australia. Our government cares about our health.

Australia has some of the strictest smoking rules in the world and Royal has to obey to some of them.

It is my understanding - and from experience on Radiance - when ships begin a cruise in Australia there is no smoking inside the Casino until a certain number of nautical miles off the Australian coast.

They allowed smoking in all casinos on all rccl ships that I have been on. I am a frequent visitor to the casino and have to leave it on occasion because of the smoke. Just came back from our first cruise on celebrity with the ship being the summit. No smoking at all in the casino, great experience. I wish rccl would follow suit it didn't seem to cause issues on the summit for smokers and made it nice for us non smokers and I am certain the employees.

If it begins and ends in Australia there is no smoking in the casino for the entire voyage. I'm not certain about cruises that begin in Australia but end elsewhere

Yes, you Aussies are all very lucky that RC obeys your laws and bans smoking in the casino when the ship is there, but poor Daan386 will be on Explorer in Alaska.

 

Yes, I'm afraid some people are mis-reading OP's question. :o His signature clearly says they do indeed cruise to Alaska so smoking will absolutely be permitted in the casino.

On the Explorer from Singapore to Perth last November, they allowed smoking in the casino, perhaps if a ship departs from a port where smoking is common, they allow it until it reaches our waters.

I just checked their Australian site T & C's updated 22 May 2016 and it still says

 

All indoor public spaces are smoke free, with the exception of the Casino, the Connoisseur Club on Freedom and Voyager Class ships, and one designated smoking venue on ships sailing from Chinese homeports. In the Casino, there will be designated smoking and non-smoking areas.

 

Perhaps they haven't updated that bit.

:mad: If there is smoking in the casino on our upcoming cruise on Explorer, we will not spend any time let alone any money in the casino. Previously when on a cruise on Rhapsody when in the port of Brisbane Qld an announcement came over the intercom that we were refueling and that Smoking was not allowed at this time. The Smokers just ignored the announcement and just continued to smoke and even light up again whilst we were refueling, putting everyones life in danger. The ships staff and crew did nothing about this even though we saw crew members and officers walk past these inconsiderate smokers. What is the point of having rules or making announcements if they are not going to be policed, especially while refueling. Smoking areas should be well away from other passengers, not near the pool areas where kids will be exposed to passive smoking. Unfortunately right near the pool areas is where the smoking areas are on all the Royal Caribbean ships we have been on. There should be designated spaces that have extraction fans that take the smoke away from all other passengers or even better than that no smoking at all, just like on Aircraft!

I have information that I just got from a reliable source at rccl headquarters that they plan to try an experiment on one ship in the near future to have no smoking in the casino. They will see how it goes and based on feedback and money spent determine if it will be a fleetwide change.

Have been on Explorer many times when she sailed out of Bayonne and PC - so not sure if things have changed - there was no smoking on formal nights - if that still exists so that could be something non smokers could consider. I find tho the smell would still be there.

 

That was before they eliminated balcony smoking. And, yes, even then it stunk of stale smoke. Can't get that odor out in one day.
