Dardreamer Posted November 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Can anyone tell me if there is a cigar bar on the Oasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted November 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I was watching the Cruise Critic report and they said "no" there was no formal cigar bar on Oasis. But they had heard that there was going to be a place on one of the open air decks that allowed Cigar Smoking and they would confirm later. Did anyone see if they had confirmed it?

molly361 Posted November 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Have not seen sonfirmation yet, nor any answers as to which, if any, indoor bars allow smoking (just a question, please) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dardreamer Posted November 28, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is cigar smoking allowed on your outside balcony? Thanks for yur help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted November 28, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Wow, didn't even notice this. I figure with 5000 passenger on-board I would think there would be enough customers for a cigar bar. The Boardwalk Bar would make a logical choice as it is open air but still semi-protected and fairly convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think that is a huge mistake on RCCL's part because with all those people there is going to be a good amount of smokers. Especially smokers that prefer smoking inside if they don't have a balcony cabin or if it's raining. Even if it was a little area, they should of still put it in and hopefully they correct that on the Allure. As for putting it in the boardwalk area, I don't agree so much because that seems like a more family orientated area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setter73 Posted December 4, 2009 #10 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am so disappointed that they omitted the cigar lounge. With a ship this size, you think they would find space for it, even if they downsized the lounge in half. It is ridiculous. I enjoy the cigar lounges in the Voyager and Freedom class ships. They found room for additional dining venues charging additional fees. It isn't right. They probably felt that the profit margins from cigar and liquor sales in the Conoisseurs Club where minimal, so they replace the cigar lounge space with a dining venue to charge $20-$35 a person or a bar that would generate more revenue.

vett3456 Posted December 4, 2009 #12 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The oasis does NOT have a cigar bar. I really hope they have a bar or lounge inside that will allow cigar smoking. I enjoy taking in the aroma of my cigar and fellow smoker. Smoking on the pool deck in a 10-20 knot wind takes half of smoking a fine cigars pleasure away. But if that’s all they have, I’ll take. I just feel sorry for the non-smokers who have to go thru my smoke rings. :D I really injoyed the Cigar bars on the Voyager Class ships. I can go in there and not bother anyone. I guess the next thing is there won’t be any place to smoke cigarettes, than no places to drink, then no places to eat because you might get fat.

mariefisher Posted December 6, 2009 #13 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Having just returned from Oasis, my husbands only complaint was no cigar bar. We heard this from many of the fellow passengers. The only problem with the pool deck is it is really high up and 2 of the 4 nights it was just too windy to sit out. To have such a large ship and no cigar bar seems kind of crazy. Don't flame me please but Vintages is a great place to put one. Part of it could be walled off and make a great cigar bar. Come on Royal, the guys need a place since there is no smoking in the sports bar. If you sail make sure to mention this flaw on your coment card. Also, they did provide a few cigarette smoking areas. I found the different bars where it was offered very fair and should make the smokers and non smokers happy, if that is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted December 7, 2009 #14 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I did see a man smoking a cigar on a deck chair port side in a shaded area about eleven AM. This took me by surprise, but I don't know the cigar rules, so I don't know if he was allowed to do that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLindaC Posted December 8, 2009 #15 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Vintages is NOT a place where ANY smoke should be allowed. Tasting wine with all its flavors,nose, etc is something to be enjoyed in a smoke free environment. You don't find any smoking at wineries in tasting rooms, and I've been all over the world in different wine areas. Is Boleros still smoky? It used to stink up half the ship... Yes, I'd rather give the smokers a room which is totally sealed with separate ventilation then have them put smoking areas in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBumb Posted December 8, 2009 #16 Share Posted December 8, 2009 the clubs on other ships are so awesome. i would have a cigar each night and give my wife the room to get ready for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nceremuga Posted June 18, 2010 #17 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I was just on the Oasis in April and my husband is an avid cigar smoker. He asked someone about it finally. There is a small deck above the solarium that was almost always blocked off in fact even during cigar hours 6pm-2am it was still blocked off but we went around the gate.... The "lounge" was an outside sitting area with a small bar and some tables.... they had no wind coverage and since the Oasis is so large you feel the wind quiet a bit on some days. My husband had issues getting a cigar lit and then keeping it lit!!! If they put up windows or something it would be better. Again this deck was above the solarium on deck 17.

Rare steamboats Posted June 18, 2010 #18 Share Posted June 18, 2010 From the cruise compass I do remember that they schedule meetings for cigar smokers. Inside smoking is allowed in parts of the Schooner Bar, Boleros Bar and at the bar in Globus & Atlas. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkissed Mommy Posted June 18, 2010 #19 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Here is a picture of the Cigar Bar. I wish I had taken more, the chairs were cozy and it was never busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilblah Posted June 19, 2010 #20 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Is that the Solarium Bar? I do remember that every night from about 11pm - 2am there is a scheduled "Cigars Under the Stars for Aficionados" above the Solarium at the Solarium Bar. Hope this helps!

Sunkissed Mommy Posted June 19, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 19, 2010 NO, not the Solarium Bar. This was a bar on TOP of the Solarium's 2nd level. Like I said, I should have taken more pictures as it would have oriented everyone more with its location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted June 19, 2010 #25 Share Posted June 19, 2010 This is the Solarium Bar on the Upper Level (deck 16): The other bar shown must be up on deck 17. This is an area which is for suite guests only during the daytime. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
