Westerdam - Cigar lounge

[greenp]

Please can anyone tell me if there is a dedicated cigar lounge on the Westerdam ?

 

Resent reports from the Westerdam indicate an out break of Novovirus on the ship, does anyone know the scale of such an out break and have they got rid of the virus ?

We sailed on Westerdam March 8. What used to be the cigar lounge, the Oak Room, next to the Crow's Nest, has been taken over by the Explorations Cafe. The cigar smokers I think went to the aft Lido pool area; that's where the cigars under the stars meeting was held.

Thanks Retired Mustang, do you have any news on the Westerdam Norovirus situation ?

We were on the Westerdam last week. The ship had events where cigar smokers were invited to the aft pool bar area. I did not participate.

 

There is a long thread on the Code Red situation here.

greenp,

 

We did not have code red on our sailing, thankfully. As geoherb wrote, there is an active thread on the situation on Westerdam; perhaps someone on board now will report on conditions.

A ship can be thoroughly clean of noro, no signs of it for weeks, and then return with a vengence. There is no way to predict when it will be present. All anyone can do is be careful to keep hands clean, and away from the face.
