Hello. We are looking at different cruise ships for a Feb cruise. Would like to do the new HAL however I have asthma and concerned about smoking allowed in the casinos Amd balcony as we normally get a balcony room. Is the smoke really bad?

I recently sailed on Holland America and had the Neptune Suite. We couldn't use the balcony at all because someone was constantly smoking a cigar on their balcony. The smell was awful! :(

I was on the Westerdam June 7 - June 14. The Neptune Lounge was fully stocked all day. Yes there was a sneeze guard around the food. There was someone there from Pinnacle but only to keep things stocked and help you if needed. I was able to take my own food, and as much as I wanted.

Here's one I found that another member had posted. See this link. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1852681&highlight=westerdam+daily+program

Thanks for posting the link to Westerdam's programs and menus. I'll be going on that cruise June 7 and enjoy doing all the research I can before leaving. That's part of the fun of going on vacation. After reading all there is to do I'm even more excited.:)
