bunnypug Posted May 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hello! Is there a non-smoking bar/lounge/pub on the ship? How is smoke level on ship overall? How well do people follow the smoking on the port side suggestion? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTJD Posted May 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Never been on CP but the Vista lounge on Grand Class and Universe lounge on Coral Class was non-smoking.

Snowbird Posted May 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I don't think any of the lounges or bars are strictly non-smoking, but I never seemed to have a problem. I absolutely hate cigarette smoke, but as long as I stayed away from the smoking sections, it didn't bother me. Remember that all dining areas and theaters are entirely smoke-free. The open decks were a little trickier. Although I don't remember now which side was designated as non-smoking, I do know that I saw smokers on both sides and no enforcement of any kind that I saw. Just have to kind of watch where you're going and make a conscious effort to steer clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwirrt Posted May 25, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Asked TA last year about Starboard/Port smoking policy. Evidently the logistics of that policy were too difficult to carry out. I was told it was discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTJD Posted May 25, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Sorry, but the Universe and Vista (the show lounge at the back of the boats) are NON smoking, even at the bar area. Unless they changed.

sue d. miller Posted May 25, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2004 On Princess, all cabins can be smoking. Most bars and lounges have a smoking area. Outside deck areas are smoking as well. RC has the starboard and port, smoking and non smoking decks. Sue 7 days on Star Princess 10/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torbs Posted May 25, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 25, 2004 There are ashtrays at every elevator. Take that for what it's worth. Caribbean Princess 4/3/04 Navigator of the Seas 8/03 Voyager of the Seas 6/01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbird Posted May 25, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2004 The April 26, 2004, Princess Patter from the Caribbean Princess has the "Shipboard Smoking Policy" on the front page. It says "In addition, the starboard side of all open decks are designated "No Smoking Areas" as well as both the upper and lower levels of the Calypso Pool Area." So, yes, there is actually a published smoking policy for open decks; I just didn't see any enforcement of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted May 25, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I would expect that is new to the Carribean. What I explained above was Princess policy in October. This is another added likness to RC. Sue 7 days on Star Princess 10/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwirrt Posted May 25, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Oh, when I heard about that policy I thought it meant cabins, too. Well, I have learned something else today. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted May 25, 2004 #11 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Sharon, maybe we should inquire about the Golden, Star or grand to see if the new policy is fleet wide, or just Caribbean. I think we are fine. Princess is targeting RC in the caribbean. Thats why all the different stuff on that ship.

bethanyissweet Posted May 29, 2004 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Just came off the Caribbean Princess May 15 - 22. The Port side on open decks is designated as smoking. Most people adhered to that. Tables are clearly marked in those areas.There were a few people that were openly "snotty" and said "I'll smoke wherever I damn well please". In the Princess Patters they list the smoking policy. Club Fusion had smoking on Port side and non-smoking on starboard side. Tables are clearly marked. I believe there were a few small bars that were completely non smoking but didnt pay alot of attention. I have allergies to cigarette smoke and was afraid I would have a problem. But very seldom did I ever smell smoke. Usually around the elevators. And occassionally up on the pool deck or sun deck. Spent alot of evenings in Club Fusion and it seems to have a good ventilation system so didn't notice the smoke drifting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
