Caribbean Princess - Churchill’s Lounge

[crawford]

Has Churchill’s closed on the Caribbean Princess? 

 

If so, what has replaced it (if anything)?

 

If open, is it smoking or non-smoking? We were on the ship 2 years ago and it was non-smoking.

 

Thanks

In January it was still a bar and smoking, but that may no longer be true since they have been changing them into arcades.

We were on the CP a couple weeks ago.  Churchill's was still there and open. It was for smoking altho' we never saw anyone in there.

Thanks for the update. Two years ago, it was open and smoke-free (post Covid reason).

Really enjoyed the quiet, intimate atmosphere. The bartenders were awesome, too!

Soon it will be turned into a stupid arcade like on other ships in the fleet. I'm not a smoker or gambler. IMO, Princess should eliminate smoking in the casino and make Churchills the smoking lounge.

On most grand class ships Churchills is basically in the casino. Everytime the door opens tons of smoke pour out right into the slot machines next to it

IMO, Princess needs to get rid of all inside smoking areas. Works great on Celebrity.

We don’t smoke or gamble either. Just really liked the non-smoking Churchill’s for a drink and some conversation with the bartenders and other guests. I can’t think of another venue on the CB that would be a good substitute. Perfect spot right outside the theatre.

Agree. A lounge in this case called Churchills that didn't allow smoking would be fantastic. 🍻

I totally agree. But that will never happen as the corporate folks are too scared of alienating a few smokers who like to gamble.

Smoking gamblers can utilize the bar in the casino.  Churchill's is a lovely venue that we would have enjoyed had it been non-smoking.

@annmarz

Since you were on the Caribbean Princess recently-do you know of what venues were having lunch under the casual dining program( Premier or Plus)?

Any pop ups at lunch?
