Cillaz Posted November 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'm about to go on Legend. Just wondering if any pools are designed to walk into or are they all ladders or stairs? Anybody know what types of cigarettes are sold on Legend and Spirit. I also read that there is no smoking until the ship leaves port. Are you allowed to get off once you've boarded and get back on?

Before I gave up 2 years a go you could still smoke while the ship was in port in the designated 'Open Areas"but it was limited to one side and up high, I dont think it has changed?

Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2014 No smoking in port is usually to do with the ship refueling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzygirl67 Posted November 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2014 No! Be last to board :D Hey Deb, Can you clarify something for me please?... If Matt buys smokes on-board Duty Free can he smoke them on-board?.. I know the restrictions for bringing them off, but just sure about the on-board bit. Thanks, Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the restrictions for bringing them off, but just sure about the on-board bit. Thanks, Sharon Thats a good point now its all changed. No good selling you a carton of smokes and giving them to you on the last day...you just have to pay duty on them once taken ashore. Might as well buy them at the local grocer. If you are flying Trans Tasman to join a cruise you cant even take a carton with you for use on board any more. Only 50 cigs into Australia and also NZ from now on.

I have never been restricted from smoking on the ship when it was in port before sailaway :confused: When smoking was allowed in cabins and casino you were restricted from smoking there until the ship left port but never in the outside smoking areas.

I know the restrictions for bringing them off, but just sure about the on-board bit. Thanks, Sharon I dont think they will let you have them unless you buy just before cruise end? I have purchased onboard 2 days before cruise end and allowed to keep them at time of sale on Aussie cruises. On USA Carnival cruises you can buy them and take them with you as soon as the DF shop is open so it may be allowed in the overly strict Australian cruise system lol I purchased duty free smokes from a Perth duty free shop and boarded a cruise with 2 cartons. I think i heard somewhere that Melb and Syd do not sell smokes in duty free shops only at the airport DF? If you do purchase DF smokes from a DF shop all you need is your cruise ticket and passport, if you cannot take them with you because the DF does not keep them in shop then the DF shop has to send its rep to the cruise port to hand them to you at customs. You can take as many DF smokes onboard as you like, there are no restrictions. Edited November 2, 2014 by fishtaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwkmpjm Posted November 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You can smoke the cigarettes that you purchase from the Funshop onboard. Smoking is not permitted onboard Carnival Spirit or Carnival Legend from the time you board until the ship sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yatchet Posted November 2, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Don't know about Carnival but on Princess ships you buy cigs over the bar,$4 a pkt a year ago and smoke them whenever you like. Never heard of not smoking whilst still in port. I remember on Pacific sky they roped off part of the promenade deck when refueling with no smoking signs attached.

Carnival Spirit changed the rules and you can't smoke until after muster.......they changed that about a year ago. Smokers were all going nutzzzz and like school kids trying to find a hiding spot as no one was notified prior No other cruise line has brought in this rule .

yatchet Posted November 2, 2014 #18 Share Posted November 2, 2014 wish they were $4 a packet....on the AU princess ships they were $12 a packet 12 months ago Yeah.. the $4 I quoted was on Grand in US. Two years ago on Diamond Bangkok to Sydney $6.70, seems they vary the price depending on what part of the world they're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just Carnival Spirit (and probably Legend). No issues on P&O, Celebrity or Royal Caribbean in the appropriate areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy1812 Posted November 4, 2014 #25 Share Posted November 4, 2014 That was on Carnival Spirit last January. On Voyager (January '13) you could buy single packets or carton at the General Store in the Royal Promenade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
