Cigar Louges

[Oceansawayeh]

Hi everyone! Hope you can help...My husband and I have never been on a cruise before and are hoping to book a Caribbean cruise for the new year. We are in the 55+ category. We would like a well appointed ship (not Luxury prices). We need a CIGAR LOUNGE for the hubby. Veranda for me. Does anyone have any experience or know which cruise line/ship is worth looking at:confused:?

Princess ships have a cigar lounge. On their deck plans look for Churchill's. EM

[John Bull]

Royal Caribbean have CIGAR lounges, not sure if that's on a their ships. There are various designated smoking areas on most ships, but I think CIGARS can only be smoked in that lounge.

I know there was one on the CCL Triumph a few years ago because my hubby used it.

Royal Caribbean Voyager and Freedom Class ships have a cigar lounge. These classes include the Voyager, Explorer, Adventure, Navigator, Mariner, Freedom, Liberty and Independence of the Seas.

 

Princess ships have a cigar lounge, but I don't know specifically what ships. I know there was one on Regal.

 

NCL also has a cigar lounge but again, I don't know specifically what ships. I know there was one on Dawn.

Princess ships have INDOOR Cigar Lounges. :)

Carnival no longer has indoor cigar lounges. Cigars and pipes can only be smoked in the outdoor smoking areas.

NCL Jade and EPIC have them - great ships

Are they INSIDE smoking lounges?

Are they INSIDE smoking lounges?

Yes they are- well appointed also. Epic is my favorite ship because I like the "Vegas at Sea" feel of the boat.

 

I'll be on the Jade at the end of the month for a second time - doing my first Transatlantic - can't wait

Very few cruise lines allow smoking on verandas (balconies) any more.

Every ship I mentioned in post #5 has an INSIDE cigar lounge.

Interesting - - I didn't take OP to mean she wants to smoke on her balcony. I just thought she named two "must have"'s for the cruise they want to go on.

As Aquahound indicated every RCI ship that has one - which are called the Connoisseur Club - are dedicated indoor cigar lounges, well appointed with leather chairs and couches. There is also an attendant on staff. They are very nice.

Thanks everyone. Some great suggestions that will surely help narrow down the search. Cheers!

As well established in this thread, several lines have INDOOR cigar lounges.

[Krazy Kruizers]

HAL ships have done away with their Cigar Lounges.

Beginning in January, HAL ships will no longer allow cigarette or cigar smoking on the balconies/verandahs.
