wannagonow123 Posted July 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2015 OK. I saw the map of approved smoking areas on the Fantasy. This will be our fist cruise wit Carnival since the balcony smoking change. My question, is smoking allowed in the club next to the casino all the time, or just when music is playing?

My question, is smoking allowed in the club next to the casino all the time, or just when music is playing? It is usually closed or having some other type of non-smoking function.

lido deck larry Posted July 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did you get a balcony? Most people still user them for smoking. Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted July 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2015 "most" do not still use balconies for smoking, a few may but they are doing it against the rules. In several cruises (all balconies) we have only had one incident where someone was smoking in the vicinity. DH called them out (loudly) then someone else called them out very loud as well after hearing DH, all we heard was the slamming of their door!!! No more smoking, actually quite amusing and very unexpected to the one smoking, embarrassed to say the least (heard many chuckles after door slammed). LOL......:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannagonow123 Posted July 27, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted July 27, 2015 No balcony. We try to follow the rules. I can't see how/why they "advertise" the area as a smoking venue, then close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk If I experience someone smoking on our next cruise on their balcony, I'll be down at guest services, or calling security. Princess does not allow it and people do not smoke on their balcony. I've seen people vaping but not smoking a cigarette. A yell out that it's a $250 fine for smoking on their balcony usually sends them inside their cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickrate Posted July 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2015 There are plenty of areas to smoke. I was on the Fantasy in June and seemed like the smell of smoke was everywhere. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted July 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So far, there has been no answer to the OP question about if smoking was in the nightclub near the casino.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannagonow123 Posted July 28, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'll just print out the brochure or whatever they want to call it and show it to GS if needed. Not that it will help, or not that I will make a fuss. I will continue to check back to see if anyone answers my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsfamily Posted July 28, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 28, 2015 OK. I saw the map of approved smoking areas on the Fantasy. This will be our fist cruise wit Carnival since the balcony smoking change. My question, is smoking allowed in the club next to the casino all the time, or just when music is playing? I did not know smoking was allowed in the nightclub, last May (2014) the only area INSIDE that was smoking was the casino and a very small portion of the bar directly next to the casino(that I knew of). That was when smoking was allowed on Balconies. Smoking in the casino was only when playing and not allowed when the casino was closed. You could smoke in the bar area but only when it was open so I guess the same rules would apply for the nightclub. It was usually open later in the evening an by that time I was in the casino or on the outside decks.. not sure I have ever went in there in 5 cruises on the Fantasy! Hope this helps...

uncleg Posted July 28, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Something I wish Carnival would do, is put in better ventilation systems in their smoking areas. I am a non smoker and do feel for the limitations put on smokers, but also I enjoy the bar at the casino...when the bands are there...the smoke is so thick. I just never understood why the ventilation is so poor. I used to go to hole in the wall bar, because they featured local bands, it was always smokey until owner installed a new ventilation system...when it was on it was like no one smoked in the place.

Bases5 Posted July 28, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Im not sure about the fantasy class but we just got off the Conquest. There was a bar towards the back deck 5 that you could smoke in. It was open to smoke in 24 hours a day even when nothing was going on.

Princess does not allow it and people do not smoke on their balcony. I've seen people vaping but not smoking a cigarette. A yell out that it's a $250 fine for smoking on their balcony usually sends them inside their cabin. Be glad that was not me. I would have yelled back that I was already planning on paying the fine. You get 4 smokers sharing the fine out of one cabin, its not that big of a deal. That is my plan next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically Carnival has a rule NO SMOKING on balconies or in rooms and you are blatantly going to ignore the rule? So what about the people next to you who booked a balcony because the rule is no smoking and that's why they chose to spend extra money on a balcony because they thought they wouldn't have to deal with someone else's habit? That's fair, in your eyes? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Princess cruisers are perfect, stay with them. There were many times we were driven off our balcony because of smokers next to us. We realized they had that right to smoke on their balcony. Now the rule has changed, we have that right not to have to deal with smoke while enjoying our balcony.:D Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smoke one in about 10 minutes so my neighbors are getting a bargain. Its kind of like a one for three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as you care about others near you, I hope you find out that its not just a $250 fine...I really hope you find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
