CDLTEL Posted August 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Where will I be able to enjoy my cigars on the Adventure ofthe seas? No more cigar lounge off the promenade. Oh did I enjoy that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadPhish Posted August 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Pretty much just the one side of the pool deck and promenade deck 4 (starboard if I recall correctly). I miss the cigar lounge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Also one side of the outside of deck 12, one deck above the pool deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted August 31, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I find the most enjoyable smoke is in port. If you are aboard ship, it's not moving, so the wind in often not a problem AND you have options ashore. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimnbigd Posted August 31, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Interesting. They turned the cigar lounge into the card room/library on this ship. I wonder if that is the plan for all voyager class (and maybe freedom class) ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned RCI is making a big mistake by removing the cigar lounges! I've spent many evenings in there enjoying my cigar, drinking my cognac, and making many new friends. Smoking out on deck just doesn't cut it! Elvis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they take away that money maker (cigars and bar) and put in something that will be a TOTAL waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattpro Posted September 3, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The cigar bars are gone and leaving because of revenue. The old Concierge Lounge located on deck 9 was moved to the card room (deck 14 port side with an outdoor veranda) and renamed the Suite Lounge ( for suite guests & Pinnacles, Diamond + no longer allowed access) . The rock climbing wall desk was moved from the port side to the starboard side, which means the Diamond lounge has lost it's veranda. The freed up space on deck 9 was used to put in more interior cabins …….. REVENUE. The last ship that I know of currently is the Freedom with a cigar bar...…………. until the beginning of Jan. 2020...…..…….when it goes into drydock, with the first cruise scheduled afterward starting Feb. 23, 2020. Captain Thomas Busto is a huge fan of the Connoisseur Club and says he will fight to keep it on the Freedom...…..….serious uphill battle...….but he'll be trying.

Elvis1209 Posted September 6, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I believe Navigator still has the Connoisseur Club. Navigator and Explorer still have the Connoisseur Club. I've spent many a night in both those clubs enjoying my cigar and cognac. Going to be sad to see them go! Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLex Posted September 6, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I believe Navigator still has the Connoisseur Club. Bob, having deja vu all over again with this latest thread, but I’m pretty certain the Liberty still has a Connoisseur Club. And since I’m boarding it in less than six weeks - with my cigars and great tips from Cigar King, D.S., - :D....it better still be there!

Elvis1209 Posted September 9, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Glad to hear they still have the lounge on Liberty. I'm running out of cruise ships to travel on! Elvis I'm leaving in about two weeks on Explorer. Let's see, three days in Seattle, seven days on the ship, one day in Los Angeles. Do you think 50 cigars are enough?

Cigar King Posted September 17, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Would like that. Maybe St. Martin will start stocking Delamain again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadPhish Posted September 17, 2018 #24 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Indy still had one, as of January. Hoping Explorer still has it. Sailing on her this week. Not holding out much hope though, as I found a recent cruise compass and did not mention the Connoisseur Club as a smoking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted September 17, 2018 #25 Share Posted September 17, 2018 After Adventure (they had it when we booked, gone when we boarded) I'm just playing it by ear. Love the lounge, and I think they generated more revenue than the arts and crafts or game room, but, the writing is on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
