cruiser2101 Posted April 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't know if this is true, but I was told that one bar on each ship will be designated as non smoking. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtgirl Posted April 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes, it is true, and I think for the Mariner it is the Champagne Bar. There is no entertainment there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGBCruiser Posted April 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I know I'll start something by replying to this, BUT, I'm gonna do it anyway. I still don't get it when 80% of the people don't smoke and yet all but one bar is non-smoking???? I've lost my Dad and my grandmother to lung cancer from smoking. :( I am a former smoker but quit many, many years ago so I don't even like having to smell it walking past a bar. Oh well...I guess change comes slowly...very slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acc82 Posted April 10, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2008 wait, i thought at this point, all royal caribbean ships are non smoking. with the exception of the casino, i thought. besides the health hazards (believe me, i agree) - the problem on a ship is fire hazard.

MarinerBride Posted April 10, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We spent all of our evenings on the Mariner at the champagne bar, which was non-smoking. There may not be organized entertainment, but Angela and Ismael kept things fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website says smoking is allowed in many of our lounges. I'd copy the paragraph it but it's a PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassieroll Posted April 10, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We were on Monarch last week and I thought I walked through only 1 bar that had smoking in it? Every place else (except the casino) was non-smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxbeach12 Posted April 10, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We were on the Serenade last week. I HATE cigarette smoke! I only noticed smoking in the casino...and they even had two non-smoking nights. I think the ship only allowed smoking in the casino and the Hollywood Odessey? I think?

Every place else (except the casino) was non-smoking. The Monarch's non-smoking bar is the Schooner Bar. It used to be Bolero's, but it switched. The night club in Circuit still allows smoking, and I think the VCL does as well, but I really didn't go up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilygrace Posted April 10, 2008 #10 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes, on the Monarch the Schooner Bar is the designated non-smoking lounge. All others allow smoking. I had heard that it was the Schooner Bar fleet wide, but haven't sailed on another ship yet to verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acc82 Posted April 10, 2008 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2008 i guess the good thing about the casino being a smoking area is it keeps me from staying there long and "donating" lots of money to royal caibbean! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princesshhi Posted April 10, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sorry, but we cruise on Royal Caribbean 2x a year. The last was on the Liberty last Sept. 2007. At that time there was NOT on bar that was non-smoking. Not one. I hope this changes. Most do not smoke. But the few who do make it so horrible for others. With a ship this big you would think that they could handle both smokers and non-smokers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new smoking policy didn't go into effect until January of this year. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard that it was the Schooner Bar fleet wide, but haven't sailed on another ship yet to verify this. Just got off the Navigator on Monday and the Schooner Bar is definitely a smoking bar. This is the bar we frequented the most due to the fact that I could smoke, the entertainment was good and the bartender, Anil, took good care of us when I tipped him in cash. On board the Navigator, there are 6 of the 16 bars that are non-smoking bars. The Ixtapa Lounge, the Plaza Bar, The Solarium pool bar, the Cafe Promenade bar, the Champagne Bar, and the Vintages Wine bar are all smoke free. I found it to be very well proportioned for both smokers and non alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
