sealovers Posted October 8, 2009 #54 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Smoke on the WaterCruise Ships: Where You Can & Can't Smoke Churchill's Cigar Bar Aboard Queen Victoria by Linda Coffman One of the unhappiest groups of cruisers I've even met were four World War II veterans aboard R-1. It was back in 1999, when now defunct-Renaissance Cruises was the only no-smoking-allowed cruise line in existence. The otherwise charming vets were all cigarette smokers whose wives thought a cruise on a non-smoking ship would prompt them to abandon their habit. They groused about their wives' deception, but managed to take matters into their own hands. In the wee hours of every morning while everyone else was fast asleep, the disgruntled vets held a "smoker" on the fantail of the ship. While such an action isn't necessary on most ships these days, it is getting harder and harder to find a place to light up during a cruise. Ships are catching up to the rest of the hospitality industry and the smoking lamp has gone out in virtually all restaurants and showrooms at sea, as well as many of their bars and lounges. While casinos are one of the last bastions of smokers, some have "smoke-free" nights to clear the air. Airlines were leaders in the non-smoking revolution, followed by restaurants and hotels that gradually phased in separate areas for smokers and then eliminated them altogether. Now, local governments across the United States and even Europe have enacted legislation that bans smokers from bars and even some outdoor cafes. The cruise industry was slow to follow the trend, mainly because of non-US passengers who don't object to smoking and, more importantly because of groups. Group bookings are important to cruise lines and groups hesitate to book on a non-smoking ship if even a minority of their members smoke. Groups don't want to leave anyone out or put them in an uncomfortable environment. There is also the matter of revenue. Carnival Cruise Lines' experiment with the smoke-free Carnival Paradise ended in less than a decade. The ship never matched the revenue of the rest of its fleetmates. Think of that small group of veterans—they probably wouldn't be able to get away with their fantail rebellion these days. And, happily for them, they wouldn't have to break the rules on most cruise ships. Smokers realize there are designated places to smoke and places that are entirely smoke-free on the seas and most are willing to accept the compromise. The first thing they do is check for ashtrays and make friends with other smokers. "We're outcasts, aren't we?" is a common conversation starter between smokers who gather in smoking-designated areas. Cigar aficionados don't suffer the same indignities when they have their own "cigar lounge" to retreat to. They are accustomed to being banned from most public areas and are happy to find a lounge that accepts them. Otherwise, they are relegated to an outdoor deck, along with pipe smokers. Only about twenty percent of American adults are currently smokers so it's not a big deal that smoking areas have shrunk. We applaud the cruise lines for their health and safety concerns, but also give them high marks for not ostracizing the minority of smokers who want to be comfortable with their habit. It's a win-win situation in most cases. Smoking At Sea Never smoke in an elevator, on stairways, or in corridors. As a rule of thumb, if there's an ashtray at hand, you can smoke; if there's food served nearby, you can't. Pipes, and sometimes cigars, are often restricted to open decks.

Where NOT to Smoke: Cabins, private balconies, show lounges, theaters, and restaurants, as well as the entire starboard side--indoors and outside.

There appears to be a cruiseline to appease anyone. Perfumes and other concentrated fragrance essences are not addressed anywhere though. I know someone whose allergy to perfumes (car fumes, chemicals and many other things) are so severe she cannot think of cruising and must rely on others to do most things that require being in a public area - - including grocery shopping. Thank goodness the usual reaction for most of us with those allergies is only a stuffy nose and sometimes an unpleasant lingering taste! I would suggest that anyone who has a preference to a smoking/non-smoking environment on a ship, to do a final check with the cruiseline selected, prior to actually booking.

suse Posted October 8, 2009 #55 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I was being facetious. Why would this fellow book a HAL cruise knowing they allow smoking then get on here and bitch about it. I see no difference in that and me booking a Celebrity knowing I can't smoke and bitching about it. What list are you referring to? You know, that crazy long list at the beginning of this thread that tells you how the cruise lines are dealing with this smoking thing. Of course we don't mean to tease about perfume. It makes my eyes water, I kid you not. I also can't stand too much makeup; it hurts my eyes to look at it. I'm kind of a natural smachural. You know the kind; I like to hang my fresh laundry out on the line.............kind of that sort of thing. Good luck. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarman Posted October 8, 2009 #65 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hello, my screen name is Cigarman. Wonder why? I quit smoking cigarettes almost three years ago on advice of my Doctor. Long story I won't get into. However, when I cruise with my wife, who also quit smoking early last year, I enjoy sitting and relaxing with a nice port and good cigar. No brands will be mentioned to protect the real smokers who inhabit this forum. I am sorry that my cigar smoke wafting onto and over your balcony causes you some discomfort. If you ask I would take a few more savory puffs and cut the end off to save it for later. If you expect me to crush it or throw my cigar overboard (heaven forbid) this I will not do. When I am attacked by your perfume I say nothing and go my way. I know second hand perfume won't for the most part kill me, but you get the point. Yes I go to the lounge after dinner for a drink and cigar with comradeship of fellow aficionados and I enjoy every smoked filled mouth full. So for those of you who dislike the smell of a fine cigar, there has to be at least one of you, if you see me on a balcony and wish me to stop, please just ask instead of getting mad and writing a long missive on this board that gets all blown out of proportion. And be warned that we will smoke our cigars in the bar after dinner when the ship gives us permission. Now lets all get along and have a really great time cruising the way we know better then any other cruisers out there. Thanks, Cigarman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m steve Posted October 8, 2009 #75 Share Posted October 8, 2009 and now I don't but I don't begrudge those who do. I don't understand someone who takes a cruise and smokes on the balcony all day and night. We are not taking X any longer due to non smoking policy for balconies. My partner smokes her cigarettes only where allowed to. Since there are a lot of lines prohibiting balcony smoking those with problems could choose them or just adjust to HAL and Princess policies. We choose them because of their policies and don't book Asamara, X or Oceania. There are some people who just want to dictate rules so others will be inconvenienced. There are cruise lines that fit every need and most are priced quite similarly and offer itineraries quite the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
