smoking question on Grandeur

[Kgol]

I can´t find this anywhere, but does anyone know how much smoking is allowed on the GOS? I have been on her before but I can't remember. I hope they have cut back because I do seem to remember smoking at the bars which made having a drink a bit of a pain.

There should only be one area in one of the bars that's designated for smokers. Other than that, it's on one side of the outside decks and balconies, only. And, some nights in the casino???? They may have done away with casino smoking at times.

hmmmm.. i seem to remember wandering through smoke in the casino, the schooner bar and maybe the champagne bar also... i can't remember.

Front of the Schooner Bar was definately smoking in April. We sat toward the rear, and had no problem. Would have enjoyed sitting at the bar, but it was a little thick.

They even had one night that was non-smoking in the casino. I didn't realize that was the reason it was packed!

Here's the policy. Note: no smoking in cabins but it is OK on balconies...

 

Onboard Policies

 

Q: What is the Smoking Policy onboard?A: Effective January 2008, smoking is only permitted in designated areas and outdoors on the Starboard side of the ship (contact the Guest Services for details). Smoking is not permitted in any dining venue, theater, hallway or corridor. Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom or on Oasis class Boardwalk or Central Park private balconies, however, it is permitted on private ocean view balconies of balcony/suite staterooms. A $250 penalty will be applied to the SeaPass for guests found smoking in staterooms or on the private balconies in Boardwalk and Central Park onboard Oasis class ships. Pipe & cigar smoking is only permitted within the Cigar lounge. If no Cigar lounge exists on the ship, there will be a designated area for pipe & cigar smoking, you will find out the location once onboard. Cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco must be properly disposed of and never thrown overboard. A guest must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, possess or use tobacco onboard.

 

The new policy will go into effect aboard 18 of 21 ships initially, with Legend of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas and Splendour of the Seas following suit with the 2008 summer season.

We just got back a couple of weeks ago. You may smoke on the entire starboard side of the pool deck and at the pool bar. Half of the schooner bar. Casino at times. Like they said on your balcony with the door closed. There were a couple of other places, but I can't remember. There are plenty of opportunities and I heard no complaints from non smokers.

Im glad that smoking seems more restricted. No offense, but if they got rid of it entirely on cruise ships, I would be most happy.

As most of us would. :D

Hi

Carinval did have a smoke free ship and they didn't always fill it so it became just like all the rest of the fleet, so I doubt if you will ever see a totally smoke free ship again.....

[Kgol]

hmmm.. it seems there is smoking (cigar) in the Viking lounge.. that is too bad...
