Rare Hlitner Posted October 5, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Each cruise line has their own smoking policies which always seem to be changing (getting tougher for smokers). On Princess ships you can smoke in your cabin and on your balcony (if you have a balcony cabin). You can also smoke on deck (they try hard to restrict smoking to one side of the decks) and in the casino. As to the other public rooms it can vary by ship but there are usually some bars where there are smoking areas. There is absolutely no smoking in dining areas or the show rooms.

Colo Cruiser Posted October 5, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yes on public decks and in cabins on all Princess ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckl001 Posted October 5, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted October 5, 2010 thanks. I am a non smoker and dislike sitting somewhere and then someone blowing smoke over where I am sitting. We have booked an O/S and hope we do not the smoke blowing over and around our cabin. Being from Aus and I was on the Sun earlier this year and there was no smoking in the Casino or anywhere inside. May be as the Sun is classed as a Aus ship the Australian smoking regulations apply! Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the Tahitian lounge (starboard side) is designated a smoking area. Part of the port side by the pool is a smoking area. I think there is a smoking area on the promenade on deck 5, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez on the Sun Princess you cant smoke anywhere inside but you can smoke on your balcony or in your cabin and in desingated areas outside on the port side with p&o australia they have a more stricter smoking policy where smoking is banned in the cabins and balconys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy709 Posted October 6, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Percentage-wise the non smokers heavily outweigh the smokers! Just waiting until Princess gets a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie2pies Posted October 6, 2010 #14 Share Posted October 6, 2010 You may wait more than a "little" while. Princess caters to smokers.... They drink more and gamble more. Nuff $aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've heard that argument for ages (think seventies, eighties AND nineties). Seems Celebrity Cruise Line would show they can survive without smoking in the casinos, not to mention that smoking is already prohibited in the majority of the bars in the mass market cruise lines.

Very surprising if so. :) but there are more non smokers nowadays so if they stopped the smoking in the casion, they would have more people (non smokers) going and gambling and drinking!! They're only assuming that the non smokers will tolerate it. (for now anyway) Why is it that these post turn up every two or three weeks. Enough is enough. CC please limit these posts.

susancruzs Posted October 6, 2010 #22 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The Dawn/Sun are based in Australia on a permanent basis, cruise account is in Aus. dollars, so no surprise that other rules/regulations may apply. I read somewhere, too, about the casino being closed a great deal due to the itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckl001 Posted October 6, 2010 Author #23 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Due to Australian regulations the Casino is only open once you leave Australian Waters. On my last cruise leaving from Freamantle in WA, it was a couple of days before the casino opened due to still being in Australian waters.
