Sewage and cigars

[highplanesdrifters]

I love this thread!  So many witty people on CC that can take a challenging and controversial cruise into entertainment!  Just what the doctor ordered.

Do I really need to wear a jacket on formal nights or could I just get away with a fleece? 

As long as it’s a shearling, yes. 😁

Whilst I can see how this could be annoying, I doubt whether this guy is actually out chain smoking cigars. For one, their not cheap, and for two, not many cigar smokers smoke one literally after the other.

Sir Lew Grade did and I seem to recall there was once a guy called Sir Winston Churchill.  And Fidel too. Veritable chimneys one and all.

and from the American side Ulysses S Grant, George S Patton and Al Capone.  John F Kennedy and William J Clinton are better known for other interests but also enjoyed smoking cigars.

I believe it needs lapels.  The larger the better.😀

Update

Engineers boarded the ship a week ago in Guyaquil. There has been no Sewer smell since. They even fixed the bridge cam.

Cigar man left. There are a few cigar smokers on board but seem to keep to the Corner. I havent seen them in the pool area. When they smoke outside of Panorama the smoke smell fills Panorama and drifts down the hall.

I seem to remember that the smoking lounge is next to the Panorama lounge, but surely the door is  shut to keep the smoke and pong in??  Or are people standing in the corridor smoking?

Yes the smoking lounge is next to Panorama.  The issue is more from those smoking in the outside section of Panorama. When the door opens a woosh of smoke rushes in.

Right - I had not realised that this was allowed.  Hard luck.  Maybe pray for rain or cold weather to make them come indoors!

Thank you for your update. Glad to hear that The Wind is no longer smelly 😆 We look forward to our two expeditions on her next year.
