Mhl76 Posted February 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2017 How bad is the smoke from the casino if you are eating, bowling or playing games in O'Sheehans while on the breakaway? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandCruisin Posted February 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I was on the getaway and it wasn't bad. But that goes for how sensitive you are to certain smells, everyone is different. Also, certain times when more people are around might be heavier. What's your concern with the smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteTraveler Posted February 11, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It is interesting because I have also been on both the Getaway and Breakaway. On Getaway, the smoke was not noticeable in O'Sheehan's but on Breakaway, the smoke from the casino was much, much, much worse - so much so all you had to do was walk through that area and your clothes would stink and yes, it is a problem in the area of O'Sheehan's. I think realistically NCL needs to go non-smoking in the casino on these ships due to the location. But yes, on Breakaway, it is a horribly stinky smokey area and it does impact O'Sheehan's and everything else nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor4500 Posted February 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Maybe I got lucky but both times on the Breakaway I never really noticed smoke at O'Sheehan's, and we spent a lot of time at the railing looking down on the Atrium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCP Posted February 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We haven't cruised on Breakaway, but have been on the Getaway a couple of times. I have not noticed the smoke at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhl76 Posted February 11, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I am thinking that we will spend a lot of time there. I can tell that my kids will really enjoy. However, if it is filled with smoke then we're going to have an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted February 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just off the Getaway last week. I don't think I ever noticed the smell of smoke in O'Sheehan's. However, I thought the restaurant did smell bad. Not sure what it was, but it wasn't pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlcruise Posted February 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We didn't smell smoke while in O'Sheehans. They have an area towards the back of the restaurant that we preferred to sit. Loved the wings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc2725 Posted February 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Cruised on the Breakaway about a year and a half ago. The smoke wasn't bad at all, and was not noticeable in O'Sheehan's. You will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esm54687 Posted February 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I agree with Gregor4500.... two times on Breakaway and many meals at all times throughout day / night without any issue from the smoke and never noticed it in the Atrium when attending a gazillion things.

Rare KeithJenner Posted February 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have never smelt smoke in o'Sheehans on any ship. Perhaps if I was to sit in there and talk a deep breath to see whether I could smell smoke then maybe i would, but I've never done that. If it wasn't for cruise critic I wouldn't even know it was an issue. I say that as someone who used to hate smokey pubs, before it was banned.

dexddd Posted February 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We didn't smell any smoke in BA O'Sheehans and I'm sensitive. We did in areas immediately around the atrium though, more of a ashtray smell vs. smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted February 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 11, 2017 To be honest, I found O'Sheehan's to have the worst food and service on the ship, so I wouldn't plan on spending a ton of time there. Well, I guess I did sit at the bar on a couple of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Never bothered us non-smokers at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhl76 Posted February 11, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We are non smokers and sensitive to it. However, I do enjoy a great drink several times a day! This definitely looks like a place we want to hang out especially with the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PatandStu Posted February 11, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I am very sensitive to smoke. I was on the breakaway a few weeks ago and did not notice any smoke in O'Sheahans. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely looks like a place we want to hang out especially with the kids Over by the bowling and games is even further from the casino than where we hung out. But you may not want your kids hanging out there too much, the cost of the games can add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cage keeper Posted February 11, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We had breakfast in OSheehan's often and a couple of lunches and didn't notice or smell any smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyChick15 Posted February 12, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm a non-smoker with asthma and it bothered me. Worse at nights. I was ok to eat breakfast and early lunches when seated in the back. Worse design of the Breakaway is that you can't avoid the smoke of the casino when walking midship on decks 6, 7, and 8. Eating/drink starboard outside on deck 8 was not an option for me D/t the smoke. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
