Discuss Implementation of Smoking Policy

Electronic Cigarettes

The use of electronic cigarettes is allowed within the confines of the passenger's stateroom (balcony not included) and within designated smoking areas only.

 

Earlier I was looking this up and Princess basically stated anywhere except the dinings areas and theater - now it reads this....

Too many passengers complained about the electronic cigarettes.

Just a thought...It would be nice if designated smoking areas were marked on the deck plans. It would help those adversely affected by smoke to pick their cabins away from the areas. It would also help the smokers find them easier.

Just look for where the casino, cigar bar are on the deck plans. That's why I told hubby we're going to avoid the window suites (not only because of their cost) on the Golden, even thought they were among the few cabins left when we were booking our last two cruises on that ship. It's too near the cigar bar. In fact, when we were exploring the Golden on our first cruise on it, and got to the hallway where the WS cabins were, we knew it from the tobacco smell. Hubby said I made the right decision.

What about the outdoor/deck areas. How do you know where they are?

On the Golden Princess 3 of us shared a window suite. There is a fire door separating the window suites from the casino area. When this door is kept closed there is absolutely no smoke smell, but for some reason the door was kept open most of the time and the smoke would drift down the suite hall. The staff couldn't figure out why we wanted the door closed. We had to find the button on the wall that allowed the door to close.

Fire doors are to be left open until closed in an emergency.

On the Golden the window suites are on a different deck than the casino. I spent a lot of time in both on one cruise.:D. I think you were smelling the cigar bar. I noticed the door at that end of the hall was left open about half the time.

We have been in Window Suites on the Golden and the Grand. As

CruisingJs posted, on the Golden the offender is the Cigar Bar. Too often they leave the doors open, don't know why, and the odor drifts all the way to the outside of the WS. The door on the forward end of the WS corridor can and should be left closed. The same for the Cigar Bar. That bring said, we be

The staff on the Grand propped open the cigar bar doors as the scrubbers and air con made the room like a fridge, they were almost shivering but said there was nothing they could do to heat it up so kept the door ajar.

That's what we noticed on our first time on the Golden when exploring the ship. The hallway where the WSs where really reeked of cigar smell (my father smoked cigars so I knew that smell all too well). On our second time on the Golden, we found the elevator area outside the Princess theater to have that smell too.

Is there any place on Princess cruise ships, that a booked passenger can smoke without complaint from others????? If there is such a place "Where is it"??????:confused::confused:

Depending on the ship, either snookers bar, or Churchill cigar lounge. 95% of people in snookers will be smokers, and 99% in churchills.

You can smoke in the casino, cigar bar, one side of the Promenade deck, aft and forward of deck 15... two separate places on deck 15 or 16.

Hi All,

 

Not finding anything recent in a search and looking at cabin locations. Can anyone please tell me - Is there a smoking area on deck 15 AFT on the Golden. Or is the only aft smoking area a wall ashtray on the promenade deck?

 

Thank You for the kind replies.

Happy Sailing Everybody!

There is a place on deck 15 but it's not aft. It's by the Tradewinds bar.

[sprinkles]

Thanks Cruisin, I know about that one. Are you saying that there are no AFT smoking areas on the Golden at all - even on the Promenade Deck?

 

Thanks,

Tammy

Cruisin was incorrect. There's a small smoking section act, on the side of the bar... just ask and they'll show you.

I was just on the Golden. I saw people at the section near that bar, but I never saw anyone smoking on the aft decks.

Are you thinking of deck 14 by the Outrigger bar? I didn't see any smoking there but you may be right.

I know there was a smoking section on the Promenade deck but I didn't notice where it was. It may well be aft. Maybe Nina knows.

Hummmm - Thanks for the replies, but I think I am more confused now. Will just keep our mid-ship cabin.

Is there smoking out on the lido deck near the bar on the Coral? Will be on it in Dec for the Panama Canal

[Shadow205]

I hesitate to stick my foot in the water on this thread but here goes. Would someone who is familiar with the smoking areas on the Royal please comment on what they are like? Is it an ash tray stuck in some obscure corner at the furthest end of a deck? Is there anywhere to sit, relax and socialize with fellow smokers? Is there shelter from the elements? IMO, as long as Princess allows smoking on the ships then I feel that the passengers deserve to have a nice comfortable area. Please, no lectures on the ill effects of smoking just information on the smoking areas. Thank you.
