I recently took an RC cruise on an Oasis class ship. I thought with the new design that the smoking problem would be fixed, but it was not. Every day when entering or exiting the dining room, we had to breathe the smoke that poured out of the casino. It entered the surrounding stairways and elevator areas as well. It was prevalent all the way into the first section of the dining room.
The casino functions as the indoor smoking area on the ship and is wide open to many public areas. The smoke does not know it is supposed to stay in the casino. On other cruise lines (Holland American) they do not allow smoking in casinos that are wide open to public areas. It is only allowed on ships were the casino is separated from public areas. Princess only allows smoking in the casino on some nights and then only to active players. On RC it is a 24 hour ever day indoor smoking area that ventilates the smoke to surrounding public areas.
