Excellent news

I wonder if this will start fleet wide.  Do we know is it a test or permanent policy?

Seascape is no smoking and it seems some others are also

Also the casino on the World Europa is now smoking free! So good i hate that smell in the casino area. So here smoking is allowed in the Lanai Bar (inside and outside) and one some open spaces on the deck.

Brilliant news. Thanks for posting @sidari.

 

I hated even walking through there to get to the show lounge as you ended up stinking of stale smoke even in that short space of time. Good move by MSC. There are more non smokers than smokers nowadays.

That appears to be where they are headed. The Seashore main casino is smoke free and they opened a small casino for smokers next to the sports bar.

I saw a post a day or so ago from someone claiming to be onboard Virtuosa in Dubai that said people were smoking in the Casino! Cannot confirm that though.

Hope it works out for them. However, there are some serious gamblers that smoke and will NOT cruise/gamble if they wont be able to smoke, ecspecially USA cruises. Good Luck with that!!

That would be a shame. Perhaps different in different locations? Who knows.

Great move! Everything I have seen on these boards is making MSC more appealing to me. We just cruised on NCL and we hated going through the stinky casino.
