hankandreds Posted October 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2010 It's been 4 yrs since we sailed on Celebrity. Has their smoking policy changed? In particular, I'm interested in knowing if there still is a cigar lounge on Mercury, or does one have to stand outside on a deck in the evening, drink in one hand cigar in the other, just to enjoy it? I was on RCCL Explorer of the Seas 2 yrs ago, and they had a terrific cigar lounge, served drinks there, and allowed for great cammaraderie between those smoking cigars.

No cigar lounge anymore, only a couple of places you can smoke cigars and they are outdoors. Celebrity's smoking policy is probably the strictest of any cruise line. No smoking in cabins or on verandas.. Here's a link to the policy.. http://www.celebritycruises.com/beforeyourcruise/faq/home.do;jsessionid=0000g1rSc8iGhDD8gHFKIyjicLO:12hdbcveb?faqSubjectName=Ship+and+Stateroom+Details&faqId=572&pagename=faq_answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted October 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Indoor smoking on all Celebrity ships is restricted to one area of one lounge and is cigarettes only. There is a designated outdoor area for cigars and pipes. Not sure where it is on Mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankandreds Posted October 14, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks for the info, I guess times have really changed - we cigar smokers are a dying breed, banished to the outdoors for our enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra36 Posted October 14, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Though cigar smokeing is limited to certain areas the best spot on the Mercury is on deck 11 at the very back of the ship just outside of the Palm Springs pool. There are a lot of tables back there and the area is somewhat protected from any wind. At times it myay be difficult to find an ashtray back there so just grab one when you see any.

I enjoy my cigars, but don't want to impose the "aroma" on others who are offended by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
