Thank you for the replies! This information helps! I was mainly interested in the wait time between courses. We have always had a great experience on Princess. It was on our last cruise that we had a long wait in between courses (30 min) when everyone at the table was finished. I did let Princess know about the experience. I was hoping it was a fluke and not the new norm. Thanks again!

Is it possible to be seated at the start of anytime dining and finish before the evening entertainment starts? Last year we noticed a very long wait time between courses and had difficulty making shows. We were a party of 6. I would love to hear if this is the new normal or (hopefully) not.

Thanks!

Deck 9 is 2 decks above the promenade deck. Life boats hang overhead on the

promenade deck. The smoke will not drift up to you. The numbers of people I have seen smoking on the promenade deck in my last 3 cruises has been minimal. Don't worry and enjoy your cruise.

Thank you for the reassurance!

Can anyone tell me where smoking is permitted on the Coral Princess? I ask for two reasons...

 

1) I can't stand the smell of smoke and as an ex-smoker, I find myself exceptionally sensitive to it. We are booked in cabin E710, just above the Promenade deck and I think I recall reading somewhere that smoking was allowed on the Promenade deck and that the smell of smoke will waft up to those cabins. If that's the case I will pay whatever necessary to get us away from it!

 

2) DH loves his cigars (much to my chagrin) and I'm wondering if there is anywhere onboard that he is allowed to smoke them and if so, where is that?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have any recent experience with the smoke wafting up? We also have a mini suite on deck 9 on the golden princess. I hate being chased off my balcony by the smell. It makes me ill. :(

How are the balconies on the Crown Princess, port side, Aloha deck, and toward mid ship? Is there any detectable cigarrette odor? We have not cruised since the policy change and are wondering if we should switch to a starboard balcony.
