Eurodam Retreat Cabana

Recommended Posts

Please - no popcorn necessary. Just a quick question for anyone who has rented a Retreat Cabana (Observation Deck) on the Eurodam. I need to know if smoking is allowed in the area of the Cabanas. Thank you.

 

From HAL's website, it sounds like it is allowed: "The designated smoking areas for all ships are as follows unless otherwise noted."

 

  • Stateroom verandahs
  • Casino (Active players only)
  • Seaview Bar
  • Outside Decks
    • Sports Deck
    • Observation Deck (ms Prinsendam, ms Eurodam, ms Nieuw Amsterdam, ms Noordam, ms Oosterdam, ms Westerdam, and ms Zuiderdam only)

You can't smoke in the cabana area itself and I think it would be pretty hard to smoke around it. I never smelled it once and I have to say I'm pretty smoke intolerant.

There were, in July, ashtrays on the railing in the stair area, and people were smoking there. There is also smoking on the deck above the Retreat.

 

Doesn't mean we liked it. Just the facts.

I'm assuming outside the cabana area then? I don't know why someone would want to smoke in such a small area but maybe I'm not remembering the layout correctly.

The railing is the border of the Retreat Area. People stood on both sides of the railing and smoked. Not many, but we noticed.

I wonder if I can smoke Hukkah in my retreat cabana ? Sorry Linda & Vern :) I'm just humorous like that and I do smoke Hukkah very occasionally as we have many Hukkah bars here where I live. Couldn't help it :)

Humorous point taken. I am now off to look up Hukkah. :eek:

I really don't like cigarette smoke, and i never realized this may be an issue when booking the Cabanas.. Just irritates my nose and stuff..

 

 

 

I specifically asked if smoking was allowed in the retreat and was told no. That was last November. Either things changed or the cabana guys just didn't say anything.
