Rare sprint180 Posted March 15, 2017 #501 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't go anywhere that allows smoking so it hasn't bothered me, and I hate the smell of smoke. Haven't noticed it on our balconies either.. Man...bet I just jinxed myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted March 15, 2017 #502 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I wonder if NCL ever looked into having specific cruises be 100% non-smoking? If they did: 1. Would you book one? Yes (I don't smoke) 2. Would you be willing to pay a premium to book a cruise that was 100% smoke-free? No, I sail now with a ship that smokes so I'm not paying extra for a smoke-free cruise.

Scotchick Posted March 15, 2017 #503 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Very much in agreement with post 498. I do have an upcoming very long cruise in a few weeks time and I will be monitoring the whole smoking subject then. If I have to, I will have no problem in moving to an alternative cruise line which has much stricter smoking rules. Please NCL listen to the majority and do something about your archaic smoking policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted March 16, 2017 #504 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well as someone said , " If I couldn't handle it I wouldn't cruise. " Therefore, wear a raincoat with a hood and a surgical mask and then you could handle it . BTW anyone else suspect that these "No I'm not a smoker" aren't ? :rolleyes: I wouldn't be surprised if there are.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingAPor Posted March 16, 2017 #505 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I personally have asthma because of Second Hand Smoke. My mother had throat cancer because of second hand smoke. Need I say more...... I don't blame the smokers. It's an addiction. Just install better ventilation systems, NCL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted March 16, 2017 #506 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yes, I would book a non-smoking cruise in a heart-beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dina7 Posted March 16, 2017 #507 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yes, would definitely book a nonsmoking cruise, only if it was comparable in price to a regular one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Oldpeopleinlove Posted March 19, 2017 #512 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Yes and yes! I'm allergic to smoke and this is the #1 fear I have going on our first cruise in November. For me also. I have only mild asthma but we are both serious singers. We've looked forward to a first cruise for decades, but the prospect of inescapable smoke (and yes, heavy perfume) may make it our only. I'm trying to assume the best, but it would be wonderful to have a fully smoke-free option. Besides, we like casinos, and that will be out of the question for us, given what I've read about them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POSH24 Posted March 19, 2017 #513 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I wonder if NCL ever looked into having specific cruises be 100% non-smoking? If they did: 1. Would you book one? Most definitely 2. Would you be willing to pay a premium to book a cruise that was 100% smoke-free? , NO - why should I have to pay more - there would be no mess of cigarette butts, ashes, etc. No having to get rid of the smoke smell.

Gerrc21 Posted March 19, 2017 #515 Share Posted March 19, 2017 , NO - why should I have to pay more - there would be no mess of cigarette butts, ashes, etc. No having to get rid of the smoke smell. I agree! With no ashes and butts to discard, as well as not needing to clean every nook and cranny as often to get rid of the smoke, I would believe it would be CHEAPER to have a totally nonsmoking cruise ship. Also, nonsmokers would be more willing to spend money in the casino. On our last cruise, my brother, whom loves to be at the casino, didn't step foot in it once we figured out how bad the smoke was.

jazzmanfive Posted June 10, 2017 #520 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Look the whole world knows the perils of smoking and the effect it can have on you and everyone else in a confined area. Every one except NCL that is! I do not have a problem with people smoking outside,but allowing smoking inside is irresponsible and downright wrong. (Think of the poor staff who have very little choice but to suck in someone's second hand smoke! at the casino) Come on NCL for once put health before greed.

put me on a ship Posted June 10, 2017 #521 Share Posted June 10, 2017 No and no. Smoking areas are few and far between, and does not affect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaElectra Posted June 11, 2017 #522 Share Posted June 11, 2017 No. I do not smoke, but my traveling companion does. There really aren't a lot of smoking areas; I don't notice or smell anything unless I am in a smoking area with my companion. I don't know if someone already mentioned this (sorry, I could not read all 27 pages!) but years ago, the Carnival Pride was a non-smoking ship. It was pretty much a failure, and they ended the restriction. But that must have been 10+ years ago, so maybe there is now a big enough market for a non-smoking ship? I personally would not sail on it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
