Pacific Princess Smoking Area?

[Australia08]

Where is the Smoking area on the Pacific Princess?  I'm choosing a minisuite and want to be sure I'm not on the same side of the ship as the smoking area.  Thanks.

From what I recall, Port Side, Forward; near the Pool Bar, on Deck 9.

Can not recall any other place.

We boarded in Civitavecchia in December of 2019 and it was on deck 9 forward of the pool on the starboard side. Lido deck smoking area on starboard side by the aft doors.

Somebody raised an interesting issue.  If you must wear masks whenever you are out and about on a ship, will they even have a smoking area?

That would be nice for the non-smokers like us, but in reality no different than masks off for eating and drinking.

 

Also, I was under impression masks not required on open decks.  Masks serve no real purpose outdoors.

When you are in close proximity to others outside yes you should be wearing a mask

One could always use this mask for smoking...

I am presuming they are going to have physical distancing and things like loungers will not be side-by-each unless for couples.

 

Also, briefly passing by one another walking to and fro is hardly a concern, but they may have a rule - who knows?  Many of the rules are not particularly based on real scientific risk.
