Smoking Sections on the Navigator of the Seas

[zodiac1]

I'm getting ready to book a balcony on the Navigator and I want to make sure I don't get one that is over or under a smoking section.  Does anyone know where the areas are?

Starboard side deck 5 and 11.  They also have a smoking lounge on deck 4 called Casino Royale.  Sometimes people gamble there too.

Port side of Deck 4 (outdoor promenade deck), port side of Deck 11 (pool deck), and port side of Deck 12. Plus casino when open and actively playing.

Do the designated smoking areas have tables and places to sit down, or are they just an ash tray where people can stand and have their cigarette(s)?

[Tree_skier]

Tables, chairs ash tray.

Was that Navigator?

 

Last week there was no smoking on the Navigator pool deck on deck 11.   Smoking was on Deck 12,  under the cover of the Viking Crown Lounge port side, in addition to deck 4 port and the casino.

That sounds like a pretty awful place for smokers. It is really windy up there.

It is Navigator from back in January. Your experience is more recent so I’d default to your answer.

But the pool deck is pretty awesome with no smoke on either side and with two restaurants on the pool deck it needs all the (smoke free) seating it can get.

Sounds like a bit of improvement for more tables available for those getting food on the pool deck with deck 11 no longer a smoking area. Would often see the same people at the same table all day long all cruise before.

It was near the Bar. And way aft of Johnny Rocket's. Nowhere near the restaurants. I haven't yet had a big black 'S" tattooed on my forehead, but it is about at that point.
