Ruby Princess Smoking Policy

[Poohbear5701]

We are going on the Ruby Princess in September, 2019 to Alaska, and will have a smoker in the group.  I want to make sure she does not feel uncomfortable having a smoke when she wants to.  Can anyone tell me where the smoking areas on the Ruby Princess?

there is a smoking lounge off the casino and also up on deck aft.

Outdoors:

Small standing area on deck 7, promenade deck, starboard aft, a little aft of the exit door by Club Fusion.

Deck 16, portside next to Tradewinds Bar. This area has tables.

Deck 17 aft underneath Skywalker's

Indoors:

The Casino & Casino bar are non-smoking, except for certain designated slots where smoking is permitted while playing. The Casino has some smoke free evenings.

Speakeasy Cigar Lounge next to the casino. This is the only location on the ship where cigar and pipe smoking is allowed.

Skywalker's Nightclub has a smoking area in the evening.

Smoking is not permitted in any cabin nor on any balcony.

So sorry, I don't know what a sticky is or where to find it. 🙃

That particular sticky--in both its thread title and opening post--is maddeningly vague as to its purpose. It was formed by a former board host to consolidate the admittedly excessive number of threads at the time when Princess revised its smoking policy seven years ago. In my eyes it does not definitively appear (or not appear) to be the designated place for ongoing discussion.

 

If our current host wishes all smoking questions to be posted there my gentle suggestion would be to revise the thread title (to something like 'Single Thread for all Princess Smoking Questions') and/or edit the opening post to bring it up to date rather than refer to seven year old changes as 'new'.
