Default Crows Nest on Vistas

Are Vista Crows Nests now all non smoking and do they have the Explorations Cafe there?
The Eurodam has the best Crows Nest IMO. It was wonderful to have a completely non-smoking Crows Nest. We also really liked having the Explorations Cafe there.
The only negative is the ugly view ruining retreat things on the deck behind the Crows Nest. On other HAL ships, I enjoy viewing and photographing from that deck.

The Eurodam (Signature class), Oosterdam, Zuiderdam and Westerdam all have the Explorations Cafe in the Crow's Nest and they are non-smoking.

The Noordam's Crow's Nest does not have the Exploration's Cafe and library there -- but it is non-smoking. The Explorations Cafe and library are on the Promenade Deck.

Thanks KK. We prefer the R and S ships overall, but did like some things better on the Eurodam. The Crows Nest was one of those. We're looking at our next cruise and Vista or Signature class ships are doing itinaries we are considering.
