Basic Poll: Would you report someone smoking on their balcony?

There is already a spirited debate in another thread regarding balcony smoking; vigorous and civil debate can be held there.

This is a basic yes / no poll.

If you are on your balcony and a neighbor is smoking, would you report the smoker to GS / Security?

Yes--if I could smell it.

No I wouldn't

Yes. I would and I have successfully.

Yes. I would because of the fire hazards.

Yes. If it's close enough to me and I can smell it.

No I would not call

It's a rule, not a law.

nana nana bubu I'm going to tell on you.

let carnival inforce there own rules how they see fit

I do wish they had smoke free nights in the casino.

I wish the had another smoke free ship

but on there balcony at 20 knots, no issue for me

I also never told the teacher she forgot to collect the homework, either! :p

Yes. Sorry to be a party-pooper, but I have asthma and I don't feel like getting sick on my vacation. Being around cigarette smoke will trigger my asthma.

On our Pride cruise in March our neighbors would smoke on their balcony next to us. It drove me nuts as I would have to go inside to get away from it, but I am not a confrontation type person. I was afraid if I reported it they would find out it was me, and that would make our 14 day cruise miserable!

So...i guess no since I'm scared to.

I am not confrontational either; you never do know how the other guy will react. That is why I would call and let Carnival staff handle the issue. No one should be scared to ask Carnival to handle the condition.

Nope. Just doesn't bother me.

Then again, I am a smoker...:p

That's the right thing to do. People don't react well nowadays when being confronted, even in a polite manner, to something they are doing wrong. It's best to let guest services/security handle it.

Are we back in elementary school? For all that say yes are you going to police the serenity area, the chair hogs and the dress code in the dining room? I just believe either all rules are enforced or none. You simply cannot pick and choose.

Yes, I would report it if the smoke bothered me. One should not have to go inside their cabin to get away from it. Rules are rules.

Come on man.

If you take the patrol away, some cruises might not know what to do.

let them have the only fun they know how

sniff sniff

No Makes no impact on me if someone saves a chair or wears whatever they want to dinner, and I didn't pay a premium for those features. A balcony is a premium feature and Carnival says I can expect it to be a non-smoking area. The straw man argument does not work in this case.

This is really a very simple yes or no poll; demeaning others opinion is not necessary.

No. Because I don't care in the first place. If it was something that affected me then yes. But I'm not spending my time on vacation policing other people for an issue that doesn't bother me. And as far as it being a fire hazard, I don't believe that's why they banned smoking on the balcony anyway. In the cabins yes. And if I somehow knew someone was smoking in their cabin then I would report it. Otherwise nope.

Nope. Just doesn't bother me.

I'm not a smoker and it doesn't bother me. I hate the smell of smoke, but I cruise knowing I'll have to accept some things I may not like and that the world truly does not revolve around me.

Yes

Interesting poll 😀

As you know from the other thread I am a smoker that follows the smoking rules.

With that said I would not report it.

Like others I don't see the safety risk and don't feel the need to police this issue.

I'll leave that to those who feel the inherent need to police others 😎

Yes

Yes if I was affecting my ability to enjoy my balcony. I paid extra to enjoy it and no one better ruin it for me!! I'm highly sensitive to smoke and can't tolerate it (don't worry, I don't gamble and am not planning on hanging in the casino-they can smoke all they want in there!)

I think I would- I have a medical condition that pretty much dictates I need a balcony room and pretty much means I can't be by cigarette smoke. So yes I would have to say something.
