Exactly! On the non-smoking side and smoking side. Royal doesn’t care one bit even when it is open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted February 20, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm not sure that it's a designated area but last month we were on Oasis and one day there were a bunch of smokers in the Solarium Bar back near the sliding glass doors. As Solarium Bar frequent flyers that week we hadn't noticed them before and didn't notice them the rest of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that shouldn't bother the non smokers, since they would not be in the casino when closed to gambling. 🤷♂️ On 2/19/2023 at 8:24 PM, Big_G said: Could be.

Last March on Oasis the staff put us up there the morning we disembarked due to some reason, that I cannot remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drifts out and up into the other surrounding venues. I don't blame the smokers for this, it's all on RC.

A person might be seen smoking during refueling but it is highly unlikely that is permitted with the knowledge of any experienced crew. I have never been aboard any small, ship, or vessel that allowed smoking during refueling. Most insurance companies will refute a claim if they have an accident onboard knowing the activity was illegal at the time. Needless to say, a fire onboard a vessel can be fatal. In most cases, you fight it until the ship is no longer viable. Imagine someone throwing a butt that lands on the fueling barge. Diesel fuel and kerosene do not "ignite" as easily as lighter grade fuels like gasoline but the hazard is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyCruiserUK Posted February 21, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2023 On Oasis last week..smoking was in casino and port side by the pool under cover. However as noted the smoke drifts out of casino and across the pool. I think royal could do it better tbh to accommodate smokers and non smokers. Ive seen airports where the smokers are enclosed in a very well ventilated room/area with seating. I dont care if people smoke up to them but others shouldnt have to suffer the smoking fumes, so personally i think royal should invest in a better designed area for both parties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are missing my point Casino's are not located anywhere near the pools. Most ships have casino's on deck 3 or 4 and pools are located on decks 11 and up. Now the poster may be trying to say that smoking areas located on either port or starboard signs on upper outside pool decks drift towards the other side of the pool.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but during refueling all I've ever seen was a ban on smoking on that side of the ship. I've never heard of a ship wide ban but again, maybe I'm wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least once a Cruise on my longer Sailings the Casino is the only place onboard to Smoke during refueling. Seen this at least half dozen times last 9 months.This on Radiance Class. PreCovid on at least one Formal nites the Casino would have Smoke Free nite Edited February 21, 2023 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the poster was saying that smoke from the casino drifts into the ship depending on where it’s located on that ship, and also that on the pool deck the smoke drifts to the non smoking side from the s ok’ing side on that deck.

Yeah long as enclosed not looking over Tanker no issues. As I said above this what I've seen on about 50 Radiance Class Sailings last 13yrs. But think was also same when was on Vision Class Edited February 21, 2023 by ONECRUISER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think was also same when was on Vision Class I never smoked so I guess I was not listening beyond the first sentence, "We are fueling and requesting that no one smoke...." . I did not bother to hear the "exceptions". With all of my years on board boats and ships, (mostly in US navigable waters), Federal rules prohibited smoking while fueling. Live and learn as I read these post. Still makes me a bit nervous that the smokers could not bear to not light-up for the few hours it takes to fuel. Not anti-smoker, just Sam the Safety Eagle (Muppets). 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Pinnacle Member Posted December 14, 2023 #25 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I just heard that they are making the Casinos smoke-free on Oasis-Class ships. What a travesty, jee golly. Back in my day you could smoke anywhere! How times have changed for the worse........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
