It is not. The policy changed January 1, 2014.

Hmm??? To pop some corn or not. Time will tell. :p

[Langley Cruisers]

Hey, at least s/he asked. :):p

Perhaps a side bar discussion of appropriate MDR attire while we wait? :D

[CRUZBUDS]

Could just be a simple asked and answered.

 

Once a line has banned balcony smoking, it's hard to get a good smoking thread going. If you want good action start one on one of the lines that still allow it, like Carnival, HAL or NCL. ;)

 

of course with RCi, there is always the casino to discuss :)

Could have been about smoking fish on your balcony

I tried smoking fish but it's hard to get the darn things to light! :D

[dadroy]

I got mine to light but the darned thing was flopping around so much I could not get firm suction to inhale. Left my lips feeling scaly and slimy.:D

Next time, try ribs -- they don't wiggle nearly as much.

[Funbobby68]

All I can think about is smoked cheese

Smoking fish? That explains why that can't breathe out of the water... ;)

[Mapleleafforever]

mmmm smoked ribs and fish and cheese

[Justmekaren918]

No, but I did vap. on the balcony, and you could buy a pak of disposable for the balcony! I really consider the 2 extremely different! Vap! Does not leave that awful caustic smell!

I am so sorry for asking such a stupid question I am new to cruising and did not want anyone in our group to smoke in an area that was not permited.

It is not a stupid question. It is a totally legitimate question...especially for someone that is new.

 

The reason you are getting (made fun of?) is, this has been an ongoing topic for many years

 

RCCL just changed their policy for smoking on balconies in January. For your smoking friends, there are many places designated on the ship that they may go. Just check the paper they leave on your bed and it will give you a list.

 

Have a GREAT cruise. This is a WONDERFUL ship.:o:o:o

Are you sure that was a fish you tried smoke? :D :D

And tipping!

Try smoking a star fish left in the shower for the length of your cruise....that should help!

The minute I read your OP , unfortunately figured there would be many sly remarks. It's the nature of the beast.

 

Probably the best reason I can think of WHY you can't smoke on the balconies anymore is because of the smoke drifting to balconies either side of you, and they may/maynot be smokers and be offended by it.

 

I am married to a person who finally gave up smoking 4 years ago, and now she can't stand the smell of it .

 

So to not hijack the thread here are a couple of other things that will get the same responses:

 

1) smoking

2) chairhogs

3) drink packages

4) tipping

 

And an FYI doing a search on these topics will help eliminate some of the remarks.

:D :D :D

 

I think you guys diffused the situation with the humor ... if only that worked in the tipping and attire threads .... lol
