Smoking Policy on Crown Princess

[bionicbeacher]

Hi Folks ...in the next few months we will be sailing with another couple who are First time cruisers. One of the party is a cigarette smoker. Could you please tell us the basic Policy for smokers on board....Are they able to smoke on their balcony? Are they able to smoke any place outside? We are pretty sure that they are allowed to smoke in the Casino other then designated non smoking tables.

 

Ourselves, we are non smokers and just have never thought about where and when you can smoke on board.

 

Thanks

Ken & Jan

Balcony and cabin is ok.....pool area opposite side of ship to burger place (you know where I mean:D ) is ok...Casino is ok on smoking nights.

 

Not sure about bars, though.

Smoking is allowed in certain bars - the only one I know for certain is the Wheelhouse bar. I can't remember seeing anyone lighting up in Crooners or the Explorer's Lounge. In all honesty, the only place I ever noticed people smoking was the casino (though if I was a smoker, I might know more!)

 

When you board, the first day's Princess Patter will have full details of where you can smoke and when. At least one night in the Casino is designated non smoking full-stop; other nights it is allowed in marked sections.

A good rule of thumb for the bars is that if they have a live performance going on, smoking will not be allowed.

A section of the Explorer's Lounge is usually allocated to smoking. The rest of it is non-smoking.

 

And the Speakeasy Cigar Lounge near the casino is a smoking area.

Hey thanks for the quick responses and excellent information.

 

This information will prove to be a big help for us to pass along to our friends.

 

One other thought we have and would appreciate an answer to....... since they are avid movie watchers ....Would anyone know if smoking is allowed at MUTS.

 

Cheers and Thanks again.

I'm just off the Crown Princess. No, smoking is not allowed at MUTS.

You can also smoke on the Port side of the ship.

That is sooo awesome that there is such a thing as a smoke free night in the Casino. I have never been able to enjoy the Casino's on my previous Carnival cruises due to the abundance of smoke....Finally!!!:D

On the Diamond Princess, the casino was large enough that they had a non-smoking side with all the same card games etc. In the smoking section, on the 15 day cruise, they had 2 nights that were smoke free, from 6 PM on.

A big hearty thanks to everyone who responded to our question.

 

Great information.....

Thank goodness for THAT. Reading this thread and learning how liberal Princess' policy is with regard to smoking, in general, we are discouraged about booking this ship, even though there is one cruise which fits immediately after another we have booked on Celebrity.

 

What are the chances of Princess getting stricter regarding smoking?

I am sure they will be looking intently at how the new restrictions on X are accepted.

I can't imagine what is liberal about it. People do not smoke in the halls, anyplace you eat, any shows, etc. That limits them to a point it should not bother anyone in the least. Whoops, I forgot about the fanatic's that their whole cruise is ruined because they got a whiff of smoke on the balcony. Really makes you realize that it doesn't take much to ruin someone's cruise.
