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. Cigar bars have never been in an open area on any ship I’ve been on. I’ve only seen one behind a closed door. The responsible thing to do would keep all areas smoke free to protect the health of the crew but at least with Churchills or others shipboard bars that allow smoking, non-smoking passengers can avoid second hand (and third hand) smoke. Having a smoking area in the casino is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafem Posted March 8, 2022 #1202 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Luckily for those of us that do smoke, we booked a cruise where we can smoke. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was from yesterday's Patter that someone posted on another forum. Allowed in a section of the casino on the Regal, now. Right next to the $6 blackjack table. 🤢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted March 9, 2022 #1207 Share Posted March 9, 2022 And what the ships have started doing has finally been formalized on the Princess website today with the removal of the "no smoking allowed in the casino" language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping the casino would remain nonsmoking, but I will settle for them enforcing the part of the smoking policy that says "The Casino and Casino Bar are non-smoking areas on board, with the exception of designated slot machines where guests are permitted to smoke only while playing at those machines." On our last Princess cruise the casino was being used as a smoking lounge and groups of smokers were chain smoking in there from 6am to close every day. We could smell the smoke in the plaza and couldn't enjoy that area of the ship. I really hope they enforce the only while playing at designated machines part of the policy on our upcoming cruise! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnritt Posted March 13, 2022 #1209 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Just off of the Sky (3/5-3/12) Smoking in Churchills. Saw smokers playing the slots in the casino.but didn't see any at the table games. Deck 17 aft had both cigar and cigarette smokers. Never saw a smoking section on 7. I'm not saying it wasn't there but I never saw it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That smell is so bad, you can smell it in Crooner’s bar. What I can’t believe is, they always had no smoking on formal nights, no more. Guess we can’t gamble.

No more non-smoking casino on 3 Formal Nights. I’d like to see the sign that tells the smoke not to cross “this” line and infect the port side of the casino. I’ve seen passengers with dangling cigarettes walking around the casino. In addition, few passengers are masked in the casino. It was too good to last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kmkub Posted March 27, 2022 #1218 Share Posted March 27, 2022 They spend billions on these ships. You’d think they would want to keep them as clean as possible. Bah. I knew it was too good to be true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmarsue Posted March 28, 2022 #1219 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Currently on the Ruby sailing to Hawaii. The smell of smoke is so bad that you can’t even enjoy any of the areas in the center of the ship. The ship is almost full and it’s really a shame. Just can’t believe Princess has allowed this.
