Smoking on Windstar

[jumelle]

My husband and I were on the Windsurf from March 7-14. This was our fourth Windstar Cruise. While we love Windstar we were bothered very often by the smoking allowed on the upper deck. There were a few cigar smokers and the smoke and smell travels down to the deck below. It was very unpleasant and we often had to find another place to sit. We are very disappointed that Windstar allows smoking.

Odd, when we were on the Surf in 2012 there were only two smokers--both were quite considerate and only smoked where they were supposed to on the upper (Star) deck and properly disposed of their extinguished materials.  We never smelled anything from there.  Perhaps it was the way the wind was blowing?

I'm not a smoker and frankly can't stand it--it can aggravate my asthma.  But I detest the habit as opposed to the people who smoke, and believe that there needs to be a safe place for them to smoke where it won't bother the enjoyment of others.  I'm not sure that there would be a better location.
