Carnival Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean are reinstating smoking in their casinos starting this week. The two cruise lines enforced casino smoking prohibitions last month. Royal Caribou has updated its smoking policy to allow guests to smoke in designated areas of the ship. For cruises departing on or before February 14, 2022, smoking is not permitted in the casino and face coverings are still mandatory. For ships departing from China, the UK and Australia, it's only permitted for outdoor smoking.
Smoking bans were introduced by several cruise lines to tackle Covid. Some companies introduced mask mandates within their ships. Atlantic City introduced a smoking ban at its casinos in 2020. The ban expired in 2021, but the employees have tried to get it reinstituted.
