Good to know everyone. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Mark. Puts my mind at ease. What happens for example if our neighbours dont abide by the rules and smoke on their balcony?

Thanks for the quick replies. Much appreciated.

With being in the yacht club is gelato included when outside of the yacht club or is it an extra cost? Can you get gelato in thd yacht club?

Thats good to know about the seaside class of ships. Yes we can avoid the other areas as well on Divina. One year we spent Christmas and New Years in Jamaica at the Excellence Oyster Bay and the smoke and other substance was pretty bad. If people smoked in designated areas it would have been fine but people smoked anywhere and everywhere and staff did nothing. We noticed that in all inclusives rules are never enforced. Needless to say my husband's asthma could not be controlled and he ended up on prednisone to get it back to a controlled level. Now I worry no matter where we go. Thank you for putting my mind at ease about smoke and cruising.

Thanks for the additional smoking info. Cherylnj. Just wondering, it seems like Divina has a fair amount of smoking areas. Is this the norm on all cruise lines. Or does the Divina have more areas then others or vis versa. Just concerned. We have always been non smokers so one smoker is too many. Thanking everyone in adbance.

Really enjoyed this live thread. Actually sad to see it's over. LOL I am new to cruise critic as we havent cruised before but anxiously awaiting our first cruise on Divina. I learnt alot. I hope you do a live thread from the Seascape. I know it's a lot of work but it means so much to people like us that dont know much about cruising. Thank you again.

Thank you for all that info. Its very much appreciated.

Just wondering what the cigarette smoke is like on the Divina? My husband has asthma and cant handle much cigarette smoke. Can you enlighten us on the areas of the ship that are designated smoking areas. Any areas in yacht club designated as smoking areas? Any info. on this subject would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just LOVE your live thread. My husband and I are booked on the Divina for a 10 night cruise departing Feb. 14th 2025. We booked Yacht Club and just reading all your entries and looking at your pictures gives us amazing info. We have never been on a cruise before but we thought we would wet our feet for our 40th wedding anniversary on Feb. 16th 2025. Thank you again for taking the time to writing such detail. It truly helps people like us ready to go but never have cruised.
