Yes, there is a cooler.

Smoking allowed in the casino and on the starboard side of the outside of decks 5, 9, and 10.

No heated pools.

The cruise line does not post MDR menus.

Last evening the Royal rep said smoking was on PORT side but I was a non-believer in that info, thanks for real story.

These things can change, but starboard was our experience this past January.

Every ship we've been on has had Starboard as the "smoking" side/areas.

The pools aren't deep...maybe 5 ft at the deepest point....and they are pretty small, so standing in the water is about what you end up doing.

Oddly on the rhapsody I couldn't stand up in the pool on the deck. It was deep.
