Smoking on Dream Lido deck

[RuthlessBoss]

I hate to ask this, really.

My friend just got off Dream Saturday, found out Lido is now no smoking.

 

When did this start? She and others were upset because of it as they were unaware of it.

I went on the Dream in April and yes the lido deck is non-smoking, but all they had to do was take the outside stairs up to deck 10. The ones right there by the bar! Lots of tables and chairs set there to smoke, I went up with my friends haha That's why I remember.

 

So, it must have started before I went! lol

I was so surprised when she told me that. I just looked, my last cruise on Dream was in April 2011 and we spent a great deal of time in that area. It's not so much going up another deck if you know it ahead of time, it was the element of surprise. Can't blame Guy burgers this time.

I had chosen not to go with my group, though was invited. They chipped together and had a grand suite with a balcony, but during some maintenance, even their balcony was closed 3 of their days:eek:

We just got off the Elation a few days ago & the first day on there was no smoking on Lido, but the next day there were ashtrays out & people were smoking. Not sure why they weren't letting anyone the first day....

I think at least part of the day was safety precautions while they refuel. I've had that happen while still in port.

I wS on the dream about 3 months ago

I I almost positive smoking was permitted on the port ride bar

I could be mistaken as I have been on her 4 times and I stopped smoking a year ago but it doesn't bother be

Port side was always where the fun people were lol

In September on the Conquest, it was no smoking. We used to be able to sit at the bar by Mongolian Wok but now with the new 2.0 and Guys being there we had to go up a level. It wasn't really that bad but a little more hassle. I didn't mind.

It's common knowledge about Lido and Guys now. It started about Dec 2011 on Liberty. I think that was the first ship. At that time, it was an instant no forewarning event. I know, I was on Liberty then.

We were on in August and don't remember seeing smoking there but you could smoke 1 level up on deck 11 which over looks the lido (10). Here is the fun times link where is states the smoking area.

ok, i think I understand, The Dream hasn't had 2.0 yet since its so new and was before 2.0? So, even without Guys, etc it's no smoking?

No smoking. Don't know when it started. Don't know why. That's what I'm trying to find out.

Bummer!! We were on the Magic in May and could smoke on Lido deck, aft, port side. (same deck as the bar, hot tub and pool) Why would it be different on the Dream?

Hate to be the bummer here, smoking on Lido no problem.

Each and every time on the Dream class , smoking was allowed.

:( Enjoy .

Smoking was up one deck from the Lido on the Dream last month...there was still a great view of the Lido and everything going on but you had to go up the steps by the main pool on the starboard side.

Total Agreement! Have fun:) on your Cruise! I will I know!!

I was on the Dream in Sept - there is definitely no smoking on the Lido - you do have to go up one deck.

 

It did seem a littler roomier than the smoking areas on Lido - I was on the Legend a few weeks ago, and never found an empty table in the smoking section on Lido - thankfully I was in a balcony so didn't need to visit very often.
