Rare richstowe Posted March 2, 2017 #76 Share Posted March 2, 2017 They would never fill the ship and prices would be through the roof for a non smoking cruise! Huh ? Which is it ?Rule # 1 of the cruise business - If a ship is not filled , prices go down . Rule # 2 - If something continues to command low prices at some point it is discontinued .

boopsahoy Posted March 2, 2017 #77 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I would pay a premium to go on a ship that still allowed smoking on balconies. We would also. I miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level six Posted March 2, 2017 #78 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Really don't have a problem with smokers EXCEPT in the Casino. There should be a section just for the Smokers that keeps all the smoke in that section. Believe it or not secondhand smoke KILLS Yes No And, we were given in a cabin on the Star under the casino for 21 days and the room smelled of smoke so much it made me sick. No changes were made for us to another room, even though I complained every single day. Yes, it was a guarantee, so my fault(I will never do that again), but never in a million years did I think they would book cabins that smelled of smoke, (noise, bad design, bad part of the ship, but not smoke) It sometimes was worse than the casino was. I think the exhaust from the casino went into our room, I am not kidding. All the people, deck captian, etc, who came to smell our cabin could not believe it smelled so much like smoke. So, I would be first onboard for a nonsmoking cruise and I can't even believe they allow it at all. Isn't fire one of the MOST dangerous things at sea? Well, at least that is what the capitan said was the number one problem at sea............but we were also on the first azipod cruise................lol.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdmartyn65 Posted March 2, 2017 #84 Share Posted March 2, 2017 No and No. if they stopped smoking in the casino, no problem. I have smoked outside so long, it feels weird to smoke inside anyways. But having a few avoidable places outside should not be an issue to anyone. Now if they offered a perfume free cruise........

seashells Posted March 2, 2017 #93 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) It isn't your balcony. It's their balcony. If smokers are willing to cover the cost of cigarette damage..... It wouldn't make a difference.. Both of these fires are believed to have been started by cigarettes. Quite possibly but not by a passenger according to a report 3 years later "Since the fire initiated on deck 3 aft, this is the place where all the mooring ropes are located, and it is also the mooring deck. From the fire on the Ecstasy, how dangerous the polypropylene mooring ropes, once they are ignited. The mooring deck 4, is also officially a smoking area for crew. All crew, specially from galleys goes in the aft mooring deck for smoking and mingling together. Royal allows this. To be noted that in the aft mooring deck, there is also the CO2 station, with all the batteries of big CO2 cylinders that are to extinguish fires in the engine rooms, if this area is compromised, CO2 will be affected as well. Also, we are sure Royal made all the possible moves to make sure of the disappearance of the 2 barbecue grills that are located there. Mooring deck aft is also the place where once a month all crew gather together for a party, usually hosted by the deck department. Since the fire on the Ecstasy, SOLASs wanted to install a sprinkler system also in the mooring deck, but this system is manually activated and is not activated automatically. If the sprinkler were automatic, fire would be extinguished more quickly. In the aft mooring deck, is where they locate the paint locker, a source also of a lot of things that can get easily cause a fire. One deck above the mooring deck, there is the crew bar area, where it is possible to smoke as well. It is also the place where a lot of crew get a lot of alcohol. We don't exclude also, that someone might throw a cigarette overboard, and it returning back on board, igniting the mooring ropes. The crew bar is open deck, one deck above the mooring deck, on this level there is also the emergency diesel generator. One deck above, on level 5, there are the spare life rafts and the crew muster stations. This time they were lucky, because a massive fire, could have the ship totally impaired, CO2 stations, emergency generator, crew muster stations, spare life rafts might all getting burned. There is no decision on what caused the fire as the investigation could not determine the cause. Edited March 2, 2017 by seashells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee lehman Posted March 2, 2017 #94 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Being a non smoker yes I would book. But smokers don't bother me as I stay away from them so no I wouldn't pay a higher premium for it Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby0215 Posted March 2, 2017 #99 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am an x-smoker who hates the smell of smoke now. I don't mind it if I am passing by a smoker but I don't like being in a room filled with it anymore. That said, when we were on our last cruise on the Gem...there was NO smoking anywhere except in designated areas outside. So I am not sure I would really need a non smoking cruise. That said, I hear our new cruise on the Breakaway allows smoking in the casino. Blah! ugh! The Gem allows smoking in the casino and as far as I know so does all the other ships.

Moby0215 Posted March 2, 2017 #100 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If NCL thought they could make money doing this then they would have already done it. Besides the casino, it should be very easy for a non smoker to avoid it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
