Which side of the Breakaway has the smoking areas, port or starboard?

I have looked at older posts but there is conflicting information.

Thanks

I was on last year, I despise any smoke as it messes with my allergy's.

That said I don't remember having any issues on the ship at all, I know they smartly stopped all smoking on balconies as it is a huge fire hazard and no one wants to smell that while relaxing.

 

Here is what we got when we booked.

 

What about smoking on the ship?

 

 

As the health and well-being of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance, Norwegian Cruise Line will institute changes to its smoking policy for all sailings on or after November 1, 2014. The specific changes prohibit smoking on stateroom balconies and limit smoking in the casino to players. On Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Breakaway, smoking on The Waterfront will be permitted on the starboard side, except by the outdoor dining areas.

 

Public areas throughout all our ships are smoke-free. If you smoke regular or electronic cigarettes, you can do so in designated areas only. If you prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Smoking, including electronic cigarettes, is prohibited in or near venues serving food, the jogging track, outdoor sporting venues, The Haven outdoor areas and children's pool areas. On ships with The Waterfront, smoking is permitted on the starboard side excluding any food service areas. Active Casino players may smoke cigarettes in the Casino during gaming hours. Cigarette smoking is not permitted in any other indoor venue or location.

 

Guests are not permitted to smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or pipes in their staterooms or on their balconies. Cigar and pipe smoking in staterooms and on balconies is prohibited. Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 cleaning charge added to your onboard account. If cigarette burns on furniture, linens, towels or carpeting are detected; guests will be advised and charged for the damages.

 

Electronic cigarettes cannot be used in public areas where there is a No Smoking policy in force; simply because these cigarettes look so realistic and therefore other guests' perception is that we are not enforcing the No Smoking rule.

I know this might not be helpful because it's the Getaway, but on the Getaway the smoking areas were:

 

Waterfront (starboard side): It was the Sunset Bar on Getaway and I think that's Maltings on the Breakaway. Basically, it's all the way forward on the Waterfront and next to the Cigar Bar.

 

Spice H2O (starboard side): Up by the bar there were ashtrays at the bar and on some of the tables nearby.

 

Pool Deck (Deck 15 port side): There was a semi-enclosed area close to the Pool bar on the port side of the pool deck. There was also smoking at the port side of the pool bar.

 

There is also smoking all the way forward on the Haven Sun Deck if you have Haven access. I think there is also smoking at the bar in the Vibe but am not 100% sure about that.

 

Sorry this is the Getaway, but I'm pretty sure the smoking areas are the same on both ships.

The description of the Getaway sounds about right for the Breakaway.

 

The area on the Waterfront by the Maltings bar is the hangout for smokers. You can smoke at the Vibe bar.

Anyone sailed recently on the Breakaway on the Starboard side by chance? I just booked and realized we will be 4 decks above the smoking areas on deck 8, so I'm wondering if anyone smelled smoke while sitting on their balconies, especially when in port? Thanks so much!!
