Smoking Policy on Sky Princess

[algriff]

We are booked on The Sky Princess in Feb 2021 and we wanted to know from people who have already cruised on this ship, what was the smoking policy in the casino and up on the pool decks.  We just took a cruise on the Explorer of the Seas and the smoking in the casino was so bad that we very seldom went there.  I have also seen on here that the casino is very small on Sky Princess..is that true?  Also is it true that the theater is so small that you have to get there an hour before the show to get a seat.

The policy is the same on al Princess ships.

On the Sky there is a large outside smoking area on deck 17 overlooking the aft of the ship with a covered area and padded chairs with an attendant.

Deck 7 aft Starboard side.

Churchills Cigar lounge.

Not sure about any others.

There was a prominent smoke presence many times in the casino.

Have not been on the Sky, but it should be the same as other Royal Class ships. Casino smoking is limited to some slots and is cigarette smoking only. No smoking at table games and the casino bar. On some evenings, usually formal nights, the casino is totally smoker free. Stale smoke smell lingers in the casino.

Churchill's is the only location where cigar and pipe smoking is permitted.

Deck 7 starboard side smoking is limited to the outside aft patio location.

No smoking in any cabin or on any balcony

The casino is the size you see on the deck plans. On other Royal class ships it seemed to be sufficient size.

In the theater you have to arrive at least 30 minutes early for entertainers. For production shows around 45 minutes to an hour early. Some single seats may remain if you arrive closer to showtime. Sight lines from side seats are not the best for production shows that use the entire stage.

Just off the Sky ( 7 day Eastern Carb , Mar 14 ) The Casino is small but well ventilated -- Smoking only allowed on the Starboard  side of the Casino and no smoking on Formal nights.
