New Smoking Policy

[CZodda]

Good Afternoon Everyone! Hope all had an excellent holiday weekend! I was just reading another post and I saw someone mentioning something about the new smoking policy. It's been about 3 years since my last cruise but I am planning one for this September. I don't smoke but my sister-in-law does.

 

What is this new smoking policy? Can you not smoke in the cabins anymore?

 

Any CC members who smoke - can you fill me in?

 

Thanks and have a great day!

no more smoking in the cabins, but you can smoke anything now on the balconies, except the spa cabins. no smoking in the cigar bars.

Sunshine will have a cigar bar.

Smoking on the lido deck is being limited on certain ships also

Casino...small smoking area

Clubs..selective...no smoking in piano bars

 

Get a Balcony and you can smoke all you want

 

We will be limiting cruises moving forward since the Lido is becoming smoke free

Can`t see spending money to be Quarantined to my balcony

JMHO

How do you know which ships have a smoking section on the Lido and which do not?

All of them except the Carnival Destiny has a smoking section on the Lido. Destiny's smoking section is one deck up because of the 2.0 changes made with Guy's Burger Bar.

 

All ships have designated areas on open decks for smoking. They will be listed in the Fun Times.

you're confusing destiny with the liberty.

No smoking in the Splendor lido. It has a retractable roof.

No... this should read the LIBERTY. ;) It has the 2.0 & Guys, and no smoking on Lido any longer because of the complainers apparently.

 

Edited... It was supposed to be a test, moving the smoking area off the Lido & up to a deserted, windy area above on Deck 10. I guess the test results showed that was a good move??

When we were on the DESTINY a few weeks ago, as you walked out on the Lido deck on the right hand side was the smoking section. My mom and cousin frequented that side when we were out there.

As an on again off again smoker, is it really so terrible to go up a deck and smoke so people can eat without the smoke?

 

I dont see the issue. Its not like you can light up and smoke in the lunchroom at work. Why should it be such a issue on a cruise ship ?

 

Feel free to flame me...

you kidding? Isn't there smoke from the grill?

[maxamuus]

As a BBQ'er, yes there is smoke from the grill. Would you argue food cooking and cigarette smoke smell the same ??

nope. but the bbq is worse for you. worse carcinogens inhaled from a bbq.

[lyn.net]

Okay. Now I'm confused. As the 2.0 upgrades are completed, that eliminates smoking on the Lido? Where will the "open outside smoking area" be? What about the outside areas on decks 3 and 4 (Conquest Class)?

[maxamuus]

Like i said i am a on again off again smoker, dont blow smoke up my a$$.

 

If you think a wiff of BBQ smoke is worse then smoking you are delusional.

[notme1955]

It's an issue because the area they moved the smokers to was extremely windy along with other issues, which made it (in the opinion of most smokers who were there) more a fire hazard than was wise. I don't think anyone would have minded so much if the cruise line itself had thought it through and/or at the very least made notification before making the change.

 

I don't know if they've changed anything since then, but I guess we'll find out at the end of the month. We're not smokers--except for the occasional cigar--so it doesn't really affect us one way or the other. I can understand both sides of this issue, though.

i didn't say smoking. second hand smoke vs bbq, the bbq is worse.

 

and eating bbq'd meat is worse still.

 

but i don't smoke, so you'll have to bend over and do that yourself.

[Lets Ride]

Good Afternoon . Mark My Words Carnivore will reinstate Cabin smoking soon. Losing money on new policy.

 

BBQ smoke never hurt anyone. Do not give Washington another taxing opp.

[Rottweiler Puppy]

Ones smells nasty, one smells delicious.

ah. see, i thought the non smokers complaint was the cancer. i see it is now the smell. :rolleyes: and for some, the sight.

Well as a smoker and a LOVER of BBQ, i still say put the smokers up a deck so we can all eat in peace and not have to enjoy a Pal-mal while we eat.
