leaveitallbehind Posted December 7, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It is Deck 5 (Promenade) and Deck 9 (Pool deck), typically Port side. (left side facing forward). Not sure where sternside is. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipeeinthepool Posted December 7, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Ok, so I'm still a little confused about the location of the smoking area on Deck 5. Leaveit says Port side and Sunshine says Starboard (or opposite port side). Can anyone break the tie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted December 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I was on grandeur last month and smoking was starboard side on deck 5 at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're that sensitive to smoke then you shouldn't book near any potential smoking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomedbob Posted December 7, 2019 #19 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It use to be on the Starboard side forever until some genius figured out that the air intakes for the ventilation system were also on that side. That's, as I understand it, is when they switched the smoking to the Port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, with only one or two exceptions, every RCI ship we've sailed has been port side. Edited December 7, 2019 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomedbob Posted December 7, 2019 #21 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Yeah probably about 5 or 6 years ago. I'd have to drag out some old pictures to pin it down. We had "our" spot at a table in the shade with a operating window on the port side of the pool deck where friends could always find us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the starboard side is my best chance for avoiding second-hand smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRF Posted December 9, 2019 #24 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We have been on 3 cruise on Granduer in the past 3 years. EVERY time, smoking has been PORT side, Deck 5 and 9 (pool). My SO is a smoker, so I am SURE of where the smoking areas are. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
