There is a bar on Deck 16 right below.

What ship?

Churchills is filled with cigarette smoke.

The ones on the Coral and island are very nice.

The Sky small and cramped.

No outdoor area for cigars.

 

Sky princess. Sorry

Hi

About sky princess...

Deck 17 aft doesn't show a bar.

I'm looking for an outdoor area by a bar where I can enjoy a good cigar.

Also, what's churchils like? Any pics?

Thanks in advance!

I guess the longest was just over a year - and its still not here, our cruise on the SKY in the baltic.

Thank you!

What do the letters mean?   "ML, MB...." when you see your cabin type?

Thanks in advance

You are doing an  outstanding service with your posts!!!

Booked for the scandinavian cruise in July....

We're in a mini suite, so anything about that would be great!

Any pics of the churchill's lounge?    

Outdoor smoking areas?

Thanks and keep em coming! Wifie and I are loving this thread!

Agree with SaltyDawg on the outdoor smoking areas (hoping one can smoke cigars there)

We're on Sky in july - I see they have a churchill's - anyone know what its like? (Saphires was outstanding!).

I smoke premium (high end cuban) cigars - typically one or two / day. I don't inhale them. I smoke them for the pure enjoyment of them. They are NOT like cigarettes - there's only ONE ingredient. They are like wine - they can age and flavours develop. I have cigars that are 40 years old.

Now I ALWAYS follow the rules.

I was on saphire, and found the outdoor smoking section. Now, saphire ALSO has a "churchill lounge - (the nicest one I've seen).

Anyways, I sat down in the smoking area and fired up a cigar (people all around me smoking cigarettes).  A staff member came to me and said I could NOT smoke cigars there.  WHAT??    I'm outside, in the middle of tobacco smoke!

I told the staff member to get their manager. I told the manager that if he were to go down to churchill's,  and remove ALL the cigarette smokers then I would be glad to go there. He then said, ok - you can smoke here so long as no one complains. No one ever did.

The churchills on my alaskan cruise was small, and always full of people chain-smoking cigarettes.  I totally avoided it, and kept my smoking to outdoors - as did all the cigar smokers I encountered.

We're on a summer cruise on SKY P.

I've heard that "maiden voyages" have lots of problems to be worked out?

What I do for the evening meal is purchase a bottle of wine (the booze package gives a discount) - I'll have a glass or two with dinner and they'll save the bottle for me for the next day.  It doesn't affect your drink count at all.

So, we leave for a cruise on the PP in a week.

I'm a premium cigar guy (high end cubans only please!) -  so I'm hoping that the 

"Deck 9, port side adjacent to the pool bar. It's a covered area just outside the forward port doorway."

is good for that?
