Welcome to cruise critic! As per Princess website description of the Zero Alcohol Package, non-alcoholic beer is not covered in the package and is actually priced the same as regular beer. Sorry.

Yes, I knew you quit a few years ago and I am very impressed. Not an easy thing to do. I disagree on the indoor smoking, though. There should be outdoor covered areas that are comfortable and welcoming, not just an ashtray on a table. These areas would keep guests out of the rain and the sun. Now, if you’re talking about a major storm with the doors locked, then these guests will just have to get out their willpower. Not the worst thing in the world. I hate to mention that other cruiseline, but you would be impressed with their outdoor smoking areas. Comfy sofas and chairs, lots of coffee tables and ash trays that are emptied and cleaned constantly. Totally covered and next to large windows. Smokers love it! So, it can be done. Princess take note.

Yes, back in the day so many people smoked everywhere and anywhere. Thankfully, people became better informed and the vast majority of people now do not smoke. Improvement? Yes, but still far from great. Princess could do much, much better.

Yup, you got that right!

Awww, it sounds perfect. Wishing you fair winds an following seas.

Please report back when you get home. Have a fabulous time! Looking forward to hearing all about it.

Our sailing is August 24th on Enchanted, too. Are we on the same cruise? I hope you’re right about the changes on Take 5. It would be wonderful! However, that seems quite soon for them to get that done, but you never know, right.

My Princess Cruise Consultant just called me regarding our upcoming Enchanted sailing. I told her that I read on Cruise Critic that there was a rumour Princess was planning on initiating a non smoking policy. She laughed. She said that in a very recent meeting with Princess Corporate, they addressed the issue as they always do. And, there is no plan to change the policy in the near future. Their feeling is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. She is very disappointed herself because the majority of her clients want the smoking policy changed. So, the rumour is exactly just that. Nothing new, nothing to see here folks. I hope the OP reads this.

Beekman 1802 is a very good quality product. I’m very fussy about hair and body products and I buy this at home. Good for Sun OPrincess!

I just don’t want to wear a mask so that someone else can freely smoke. I should be able to enjoy the casino without a mask and without my hair smelling like an ashtray. I know you love the casino, but the price is just too high for this lady.

I totally believe this! Hardcore gamblers are immune to cigarette smoke. They’re either smokers themselves or they don’t even notice it anymore. Folks like myself, who enjoy the casino on occasion and do it only for fun, are the ones who suffer. The Princess casinos would still be full until the wee hours without smoking. They’re just afraid to take the leap.

Exactly the same here in Canada. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone smoking. We’re basically a non smoking country except on your own property.

Because Celebrity took a giant step forward and never looked back. Their casinos are packed. The other cruiselines are still wringing their hands on their ability to change an outdated policy. Their loss.

You nailed it! We recently called our Princess cruise consultant and cancelled all of our bookings for 2025. I explained to her that we will not sail Princess again until the casinos are 100% non smoking. She completely understood. We then booked three for 2025 with Celebrity. If Princess does the right thing, we’ll happily come back. We’re sailing on Enchanted in August and it’s our last one. It makes med sad.
