Royal Caribbean is preparing another major onboard venue shuffle on Oasis of the Seas, with a larger non-smoking casino planned for Deck 4 and longtime nightclub Blaze set to permanently close September 6, according to reporting by Royal Caribbean Blog. The Crown Lounge is expected to move to Deck 15, while the Teen Lounge will be temporarily unavailable during construction from September 10 through October 11.
The expanded smoke-free casino is expected to be fully open around November 9, as Oasis prepares for short-cruise service from Fort Lauderdale. Royal Caribbean’s current official deck-plan page covers sailings from August 30, 2026 through April 19, 2027, supporting the timing of the ship’s updated configuration. The changes continue a fleetwide trend toward larger non-smoking casino spaces, but they also remove or relocate familiar gathering spots.
