"0" seems like a great plan!

I am just thankful the cruise lines are gradually getting rid of the smoking areas all together.  It is coming. Carole

Absolutely!

Folks were commenting on the smoking policies, and not liking this activity.  I just posted my opinion about the new class of ships, including The Bliss, that no smoking in public areas so you are not presented with the smell, inhaling it, and getting sick.  Maybe if you had a husband or wife that died of lung cancer you would feel different.  

I am so glad the Bliss does not have any areas for smoking that will bother the cruising folks.  I have taken a cruise on The Bliss two times last summer to Alaska. The ship is so beautiful.  In fact I have a repositioning cruise on The Bliss in April 2020 from New York, back to Seattle.  I just live a ferry ride across Puget Sound to get home.  I just returned from a cruise on The Breakaway, a ship of that class that has an "enclosed glass room" for smoking right next to the pool, and at some places in the casino area.  It was awful even having to walk through that area.  The Bliss does have a glassed in room for smokers in the casino "with door shut," so there is no smell.  At the pool area,  I found it very disgusting to walk by, see all those folks smoking, even pipes and cigars.  They even stand at the entrance to this glass room with door opened and blow the smoke outside into the pool area.  I could be sitting 50 feet down on a lounge, and could smell the smoke and inhaled it.  It is just awful.  I will be only cruising in The Bliss class from now on, I learned that on The Breakaway.  Thank goodness so many complaints were made, that NCL changed this policy.  Looking forward to more Alaska trips out of Seattle the on The Bliss this coming summer.
