Rare NthernLgts Posted March 30, 2022 #1226 Share Posted March 30, 2022 3 hours ago, SHIP TRAVELER said: We LOVED the non smoking Casino on the Majestic on our NYE cruise. I guess we will be heading back to Celebrity so that we can enjoying our gambling in a non smoking casino. I say this as someone who has never had any interest in cigarettes and hates cigarette smoke. I will have an occasional cigar. In the casino on the Sky the smoking portion was really no big deal to me at all. I know there were cigarette smokers there, it just wasnt an issue for me. Literally only 1-2% of the public areas on these ships even allow smoking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 6, 2022 #1227 Share Posted April 6, 2022 This is a photo from the Vista Lounge window/starboard side on the Grand on disembarkation day/April 4. I did not spend much time on the Promenade Deck during the cruise so am unable to verify smoking areas. There were many areas that were "under maintenance" and roped off during the cruise. If the print is too small: "Working in quarantine Teammate's SMOKING AREA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the print is too small: "Working in quarantine Teammate's SMOKING AREA" All Princess Grand and Royal Class ships have a small smoking area on deck 7 starboard aft. This is not new. What is new is the covid related sign where the area now seems to be limited to crew members that are working in the quarantine section of the ship. Pre-covid these areas were open to all crew and passengers for cigarette smoking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask for it to be closed down today, but I see @Host CJSKIDS already did that. I have written an email to Mr Siebaldi and Customer Relations and included a copy/paste of the results. About 300 CC members voted in the survey with a pretty steady result of 93% in favor of banning smoking in the Casinos. I think it is not a stretch to expect a 90% favorable rating from the general Princess customer base should there be a way to survey them. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been to either one or know their smoking policy. Perhaps being new they have taken the approach to not allow smoking but IDK. I believe some tribal casinos in California don’t allow smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTexCruiser Posted May 9, 2022 #1241 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thank you for your efforts @Steelers36, but I'm afraid it'll probably be for naught. I voted to ban smoking in casinos. I believe the survey the casino operators really care about is of gamblers, and especially of slot players who are the most profitable. If you walk into any casino, you will most likely see many slot players with cigarettes dangling from their mouths while pounding on spin buttons for hours on end. Cruise lines such as Carnival, Princes, Royal Caribbean, NCL have decided that the profit from those players outweigh any potential loss of business from people who dislike smoking in casinos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the smokers cannot just stroll down the street to the next casino that allows smoking. If the casino is open, they will come. I think at least half the smokers in the casino are there just to smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most smokers in the casino were playing my issue was that the number of slot machines in the smoking area were 2-3 times the amount found in non smoking and there were no video poker machines in non smoking area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea isn't that you show up to the casino just to smoke. So, if that is being enforced, it is a good thing as far as it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both received a survey today from WAVES by Carnival specifically about the casino smoking policy. I feel hopeful that policies may change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannagonow123 Posted May 20, 2022 #1249 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Can anyone on here please tell me where the smoking areas are on the Enchanted Princess? I have searched this forum to no avail. I tried to use the chat on Princess web page, and the agent told me it changes each sailing. That does not sound correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
