Just got my reservation for booked Princess cruise,



 



 



 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

 

 

1. Smoking is no longer permitted in most areas of the ship, including all staterooms and balconies.

 



 



 



 



 

I could be wrong, but after one of the Princess ships suffered a fire that started on the balcony from a cigarette (not my opinion), they banned smoking on the balconies on the Princess line. I believe this was quite a while ago...

Yes, for quite a while now, as long as they are dress shorts. Except on Elegant night, and never in the steakhouse.

 

 

I don't see how my jeans are dressier than my dress shorts for elegant night.

 

I'm wearing my dress shorts to work as an accountant today. I would never dream of wearing jeans.

 

(on a four day cruise from port canavaral [on sensation] which night is elegant night anyway?)

That was 2006. From cigarette melting non fire retardant plastic, polycarbonate, glass doors and partitions not fire retardant, no fire detection nor fire suppression devices on balconies. Once repaired, now have sprinklers, fire retardant furniture etc. Now, all materials are fire retardant.

Shorts now allowed

 

Now, will Carnival copy Disney's NO SMOKING ON BALCONIES policy?[/quote]

 

I would hope so! It would cause some griping at first, but then it would become a standard everywhere.

Sure do. (1 correction - they have the number of ships for RCI wrong. It should be 21). If nothing else changes over what has already been announced, by the end of 2016 both lines will have 25 ships and RCI will widen it's margin that they already have in GRT, berths, and passenger sea days. That is unless Carnival can add about 400 berths to all their ships or build 3 new 4,000 passenger ships that have not been announced by the end of 2016.

So Elliair, would you accept the use of e-cigs on balconies? Like Seabourn and Cunard?

You do realize Carnival Corp. owns more than just Carnival right. ?

Can't understand why people get so bothered by the wearing of presentable shorts, especially on Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas cruises. I mean that's why those of us in the snowbelt go south in winter in the first place!

:confused:

As Cruzfitter said above (couldn't get it to multi-post 3 posts), this is a comparison of cruise lines, not corporations.

You said it. Notice you say " cruise line" not cruise corp.

Ok I'll take the hit on that, Carnival Corp. is the largest. But that's not what you said you were talking about, you said this " thread " is about carnival cruise lines comparisons.
