Freedom of The Seas - Smoking Policy

[pirate52]

I have seen posts that indicate the Freedom of the Seas has the strictest smoking policy of all RCCL ships. I would like to hear from a smoker that has returned from a Freedom cruise to get the real scoop. Here is where I think you can smoke:

Starboard side 12th deck

Sky bar 12th deck

Part of the Olive or Twist lounge

Starboard side 4th deck

Casino bar

Cigar club

Crypt - 4th deck only

Cabin balconies

 

Where this differs from ships like the Navigator is that they also allow smoking on:

Starboard side of 11th deck

Pub in the promenade - inside only

Outside the casino at the beginning of the Schooner bar

One side of Boleros lounge

 

We cruise on the October 24th sailing of the Freedom and would really like to know where you can go. Thanks for any help.

You are 100% correct, on the western the 2nd formal night is also teen disco night, so both the casino bar and the crypt are off limits to smokers!!:(

You'll easily see where smoking is allowed by the ashtrays!

Independence out of the UK is far stricter:

Outside on 11 and 12 and your balcony

Lower level of night club.

That's it.

Boleros is another smoking spot. DH and I went there right after dinner.

Hello,

 

I was on the Freedom of the Seas last year in April and smoking was allowed inside the Pub on the Royal Promenade among other places. We are going out on the Liberty of the Seas in November and I hope they have the same smoking areas, at least. Does anyone have the information on the Liberty of the Seas smoking policy. They are sister ships so I assume its the same. Thanks.

On the Liberty in Feb you could smoke in the pub on the Royal Promenade, the Casino except non smoking night, Boleros and Viking Crown (or called Olive and Twist now I believe)

Thanks for the information Molly. I hope they don't change the policy. November is a long way off and I'll keep my fingers crossed. LOL.

On Freedom this past May, smoking was NOT allowed at the Casino Bar, but was allowed at the tables....

 

For a convenient (quiet) smoke, walk out of the Casino and go to the Crypt (Upper Level)...There is usually an ashtray on one or two of the tables!

I wonder why! Maybe people at the photo Quiosks where complaining.
