You are right here. It was Carnival that I was thinking of as I understand they still allow (limited) smoking in their casino area.

That would not be nice.

Elite plus. Got Covid in June on Summit.  Summit was very crowded. Booked Viking for next cruise.

Not completely true. There are no smoking areas inside, other than casinos. Five of Holland America Lines ships do not allow smoking in their casinos at all. And the remaining ships have scheduled days when smoking is not allowed.

And smoking is only allowed on three designated outside areas on Solstice size ships, and no balconies which given the size of the ship, is probably less space than Viking. I have not seen any indoor smoking area at all on celebrity ships. Certainly didn't smell it. Celebrity ships are deemed non smoking   

Hard to smoke on balconies when there aren't any on the E class ships (except in suites or aft).

I didn't mention E class but smoking not allowed on those that have balconies anyway.

Good to know.  I was on Koningsdam where there was lots of smoking in the casino and on the port side area of the sea view (stern) pool.
