No really happened we were in Mexico and the smell around the ship was not very pleasant but everyone somehow survived This was back in the early 1990’s
I also learned then to make sure that the didn’t put all of our drinks at dinner on my account. After several wines a after dinner drinks I was about to hit 15 by 10:00
Yes that captain made a bad guess and is no longer with Princess but my point is that things happen and in those days we could still smoke in many indoor spaces like cabins and bars
I cannot recommend flying in same day All it takes is one equipment problem or one weather event and that’s all she wrote. We are only a 3 1/2 hour train ride from Seattle and still go in a day early as we have seen delays a and landslides that mess with travel
As you may know I quit smoking 6 years ago. My post was mostly a jab at those who pine for the old ways of cruising. I do think you have to have some place indoors for smokers in certain circumstances such as bad weather which causes the outside decks to be closed
Do those people who want to go back to the “good old days” of cruising with tip envelopes and only traditional dining remember when you could smoke pretty much anywhere on a ship all the bars, your cabin, your balcony and even in the MDR. Now it is only in a few places. Seems better to me
That is a lot of money to spend for convenience when you don’t drink. Who told you he could not have a package ? There is also a no alcohol plan as well
