spanner14 Posted July 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi, and my apologies if this has been asked a thousand times before. When Indy sails from Southampton, are the rules for smoking the same as or similar to UK smoking laws? I just wondered when and if people are allowed to smoke; if there are smokey bars I can avoid them but as a non-smoker I didn't really like my "neighbours" being able to smoke on their balconies on FOS. Just wondered if people can smoke on their balconies when Indy sails from Southampton? Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted July 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Smoking is allowed on balconies and in various places and decks; I don't recall precisely where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Able Seaman H Posted July 11, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I would imagine the Cigar lounge (Connoisseur Club), would be a designated smoking area as well !! Henry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_K Posted July 11, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks NN; sounds like they've sort of combined the UK smoking laws with RCI's! :)It's really pretty much just RCI's smoking policy. I don't think there's anything in it that's different to comply with UK smoking laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted July 11, 2010 #12 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Smoking is allowed on balconies and in various places and decks; I don't recall precisely where. Sadly, that's true. Interesting that Celebrity bans smoking on balconies but RCCL does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingatesl Posted July 11, 2010 #13 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Sadly, that's true. Interesting that Celebrity bans smoking on balconies but RCCL does not. Not very interesting, if you want smoke free balconies you sail on celebrity ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted July 11, 2010 #14 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Not very interesting, if you want smoke free balconies you sail on celebrity ;) Yes, it is interesting since both RCCL and Celebrity are part of the same company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_K Posted July 11, 2010 #15 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yes, it is interesting since both RCCL and Celebrity are part of the same company!If it were actually a moral/ethical decision, that would be interesting. Since it's a business decision, I see no reason to expect them to be in line any more than any policy is in line e.g. bringing wine on board.

If you want to smoke on your balcony, go RCCL. If you want to bring a bottle of wine onboard, go Celebrity. :) (Although it really WOULD be nice if they had the same rules, for goodness sake...)

BMT Posted July 12, 2010 #21 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Do they still allow smoking on balconies on Princess? I know they have installed sprinklers on all their balconies but.....................! We were on the Star Princess two weeks before the terrible fire in passenger cabins. Friends were caught up in the fire - it was an awful experience for them. Princess said it was caused by a ciggie thrown over a balcony. I know they installed sprinklers 'cos we went on her again a few months later and booked a balcony cabin. Second day the balcony was shut off because they were installing sprinklers - never got to use the balcony!! Sticks in my mind because I wrote complaining to Princess and received a reply which I treasure - it said in effect, glad you enjoyed your holiday:D:D Nil customer service from Princess:eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
