Cruzbw Posted December 22, 2021 #1176 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I have reservations on the Ruby next Spring, and realize I need to advise my daughter on where to smoke her cigarettes. I know the Speakeasy Cigar Lounge, but where can she smoke cigs outside? I can't find my answer on this thread, although certainly I have not read all 48 pages.

Try doing a Google search for Ruby Princess Smoking Policy. That should give you an answer quicker than asking here or searching all 48 pages.

Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted December 22, 2021 #1178 Share Posted December 22, 2021 @CruzbwI sailed Ruby in November and Speakeasy was closed due to CDC covid guidelines. There’s smoking on deck 16 port side by tradewinds bar. Lots of tables and chairs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears right now no indoor smoking with the cigar lounge closed and casino slot smoking no longer allowed. Outdoors. Small section of the promenade deck starboard side aft just before the promenade goes around the ship's stern. Area by the forward bar on the deck above the main Lido pool. Possibly an area aft a few decks above the Terrace pool. No smoking in any cabin or on any balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke. Go figure 😳. Outdoor cigar smoking is ok with me. Tony I can't stand the smell of either. I used to like pipe smoke if it was a good tobacco. Cigar smoke literally makes me nauseous and cigarette smoke gives me migraines. I however do believe smokers have rights, but not the right to infringe on my health. We are Elite with both Princess and Celebrity but I must admit, I love those non smoking casinos on Celebrity. Doesn't look they lost any revenue by doing it since their cruises are usually sold out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SUESEABE Posted January 23, 2022 #1183 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Interesting. I read the new edition of Health Protocol FAQ. It clearly states that smoking will not be permitted in th Casino. However, no where does it state that there will be no smoking in Churchill's.

VibeGuy Posted January 23, 2022 #1184 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I believe anyone currently onboard any of the ships with Churchills or Shooters will confirm there’s no indoor smoking right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do note that the Casino must be open if there is to be smoking and at designated machines for GAMING guests. But, I am not holding my breath expecting the enforcement.

Completely agree with you. I was hoping the casino would stay non smoking. It will be interesting to see how soon the Princess website will be updated to include the new policy. It still shows no smoking allowed in the casino and also that masks are REQUIRED there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Emerald and there has been no change to the smoking policy. I have no problem with Princess having a bar or two designated for smoking but making the casino a smoking area is a very bad idea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jwattle Posted March 7, 2022 #1197 Share Posted March 7, 2022 On March 12, Sky does a TA heading over to Southampton, etc. ; they may be gearing up for the more smoke-friendly crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the ships had some sort of cigar bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the proven second hand health hazard cigars and pipes have a very unpleasant smell that lingers in the air and penetrates into surrounding furnishings. Difficult enough to pass by the doors of the cigar lounges now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
