larrywizzit... will do. So far lots of I hxxte smoking. Ok just want an answer since this is my first TA.

We are going on our first transatlantic cruise on HAL Veendam the end of August and I wanted to know what the smoking accommodation is like. I know they have a certain side of the ship outdoors but crossing the Atlantic sounds like outside on the deck may be rough. I'm curious if anything changes.

Thanks In advance

Just came back from the NCL SKY and when we docked in Cuba the fuel floating in the water both looked and smelled bad. It ended up being from the petroleum facility across the way.

That also s the beach day at the private island since we now need to be diverted to Freeport in the Bahamas to clean the oil off the ship. People were not happy.

When we left we saw no activity in Cuba to contain the spill and clean it up.

I hope other ships continue to sail to Havana but without some effort on Cuba to own the issue and clean it up I doubt other cruise lines will want the legal pollution exposure.
