Non-Smoking cruise ships??

On our cruise in Hawaii (aboard the POA), Hawaiian law is VERY anti-smoking ("after all, it's for your health!").

Legally, we could smoke in our cabins, but not on our balconies (it might offend someone else on a nearby deck!)

Just about the only "public" smoking area was the Oasis Bar on the 11(?) deck aft.

One day at the Oasis, we noticed 2 couples that wandered back and each of the 4 took his or her own separate table. One near us then leaned over and exclaimed that my smoke "bothered" him, and that I should extiguish it! Before I could respond (or offer the guy "swimming lessons") the waitress zoomed over and told him that if the smoke bothered him, he should leave and go somewhere else!

I could safely guess that at least 20 of us applauded her!

She did very well on tips that afternoon!
