hiberger Posted September 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hello, I'm not looking to engage in a smoking debate here just need and answer to a simple question. Has anyone who smokes cigarettes been banned from the smoking/cigar bar on this ship? Please leave details as we have heard lately; Cigar smoking is permitted but cigarettes are not. How Crazy I can't believe it so I'm checking. Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivierchantal Posted September 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, Yes, I was banned from the smoking lounge the 1st day of the cruise on the Down Bar tender asked to go on the 13 floor at the outside smoking bar Unfortunately, the red flag was present witch indicate refueling in progress and “no smoking” So, I came back to the smoking lounge and finally they authorize me to smoke a cigarette My understanding is that smoking cigarette in the lounge is only authorized when smoking bar or casino are close! Strange but real 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(smoking, as in cigarettes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monl765 Posted October 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) In January this year, the cigar lounge was taken over by the cigarette smokers. They were in there endlessly, and the smoke drifted out into Gatsby's bar every time the door opened. This was a problem since many shipboard activities are held at Gatsby's. (Most of the cigarette smokers, my roommate included, chain smoked 3-4 cigs before leaving. It was way more smoke than the cigar smokers put out.) After many complaints (both by cigar smokers being driven out, and the people at the activities), the cigarette smokers were told to leave and smoke at the proper areas, which were the casino and the Bimini bar on deck 13.

My husband and I couldn’t stand the casino on Dawn last May due to the clouds of cigarette smoke. It’s a small room. (Cough, Cough). So go ahead and smoke to your heart’s discontent in the casino. Hopefully they lose so much money that they ban it fleet-wide. Flame on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiberger Posted October 2, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Sooo it looks like it is true. SO unbelievably stupid. How can one tobacco smoke be banned and another ( Cigar ) not?? I don't particularly like Clove, vapes and some cigars but I don't complain when they are enjoying theirs alongside myself. Thanks to everyone who offered their information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone who offered their information. Just saying, they allowed it early until the cigarette smokers overwhelmed it....I doubt they would have banned it if the cigarette smokers "only" smoked one - vs - chain smoking. P.S. My roommate loved the Bimini bar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
