chrispb Posted May 15, 2009 #26 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Thanks for a brilliant list. I can identify easily the cruise lines who do not cater for us smokers and will NOT be travelling with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jena Posted May 15, 2009 #27 Share Posted May 15, 2009 We were on the Eurodam a few weeks ago. Smoking is permitted in cabins and balconies, casino and a portion of the aft pool area and bar. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted May 17, 2009 #29 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Printing out all the rules for every line. I guess it must be your obsession. Why can't people just let the few smokers onboard enjoy what little space is left for them. They have already lost the great space in the Ocean Bar. I bet the bartender tips have dropped a lot. Next you can post all the rules regarding brining wine and liquor on board. :confused: Why would bartender tips in Ocean Bar drop because smoking is no longer permitted there? We love to sit at the bar in Ocean Bar and many times had to leave because the smoke bothered us. (We were aware we were in the wrong place and left.) But now we can enjoy sitting there again and are very happy to continue tipping the bartenders as we have always done in the past. Those bar stools will still be filled....just not with smokers. Surely we are not the only non-smoking couple who enjoys sitting at the bar and will not be sitting there alone....unless the whole lounge is quiet which sometimes happens. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonomaDriver Posted May 18, 2009 #30 Share Posted May 18, 2009 HAL is actively surveying passengers about their smoking policy. Each passenger got such a survey on the Westerdam this weekafaik. Whichever cruise line (that is half-way decent) that bans smoking will get our business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted May 18, 2009 #31 Share Posted May 18, 2009 They've been doing that survey for well over a year now. They certainly have received a great many of responses in this time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJaguar Posted May 18, 2009 #33 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I did order an electronic "cigarette" called "NJoy" that has nicotine in full flavor, regular or lite flavor and non-nicotine. It glows like a cigarette does, and there is a vapor that is inhaled and exhaled that looks like smoke, but isn't because there IS no smoke in it. It can also be "smoked" in ANY area where there is NO SMOKING, because it is NOT tobacco. I'm going to try it out and see how it works. If I'm happy with it then I can "smoke" when and where I want to and people who abhor "smokers and smoking tobacco" will be happy as well. I would bet money that when you pull your fake cigarette out that doesn't have a smell or tobacco in it, there will be people who start coughing and flapping their arms because of you. I've had it happen with an unlit cigarette, so I'm sure it will happen with a fake cigarette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted May 22, 2009 #34 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Can't agree more. There are some who look to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHERGIB Posted May 22, 2009 #35 Share Posted May 22, 2009 We were on the Westerdam for the first two weeks in Dec. 08 and there was smoking on one side of the Lido pool area and around the bar. Also in the bar across from the Pinnacle. It really does bother us as my husband has paid the price for 40 years of smoking. He is a larygectomy due to esophageal cancer but the surgery was done 20 years ago this year. We hate to see people smoking but they probably will also pay price. We just try to avoid those areas.
