CruiserBruce Posted March 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Don't mean to be rude, but this is a very heated and widely discussed topic here, resulting in some very long and sometimes vicious discussions. Please read around the board, you will find all you need to know. The answer is yes. I am now running for the bomb shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASIWISH Posted March 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2012 HAL's current Smoking Policy: For the comfort of all of our guests, based on an increased desire expressed by the majority of our guests, we are changing our smoking policy as of January 15, 2012 Presently, all indoor areas are designated non-smoking with the exception of: • Casino • Northern Lights Disco (ms Eurodam, ms Oosterdam, ms Noordam, ms Nieuw Amsterdam, ms Westerdam & ms Zuiderdam only) • Seaview Bar (excepting ms Maasdam, ms Ryndam & ms Statendam) • Sports Bar • Crow’s Nest (excepting ms Eurodam, ms Oosterdam, ms Noordam, ms Nieuw Amsterdam, ms Westerdam & ms Zuiderdam) All showrooms are nonsmoking during performances. There are selected areas of the outside decks where smoking is allowable. Cigar and pipe smoking is only permitted on the outside decks. Our ships do not currently have “nonsmoking” staterooms; however, all rooms are thoroughly cleaned after each cruise to assure the comfort of our guests. For all cruises departing on or after January 15, 2012 All staterooms will be non-smoking areas, in addition to the other areas that were already defined as non-smoking. Smoking will continue to be permitted outside on stateroom verandahs. There are designated areas available for smoking both inside the ships and on outside decks as detailed above.

peaches from georgia Posted March 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Ooops.....sorry....didn't mean to stir up trouble....just asking a simple question....not offering opinion. Thank you for the answers Of course you should ask any question you want. The problem is not with you; your question was asked politely and answered (4 times). The problem is that though there is no reason for anyone to answer it again, some posters love to stir up an arguement about smoking itself and will morph your question into a neverending fight about the hazards of smoking, the health risks of 2nd hand smoke, and the rudeness of both smokers and non-smokers, with hundreds of unnecessary posts not changing anyone's mind. Ask away with any other cruise questions you may have. This one was answered correctly ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I read it, taking out all the irrelevant jargon, "Presently, all indoor areas are designated non-smoking with the exception of the Crow’s Nest, except the ms Zuiderdam" So, the Crow's Nest on the ms Zuiderman is non-smoking.. ... but, as usual, I could be wrong.

I am very disappointed that smoking is allowed in the Crow's Nest on the Zaandam. I didn't realize it depended on the ship. Last year we enjoyed the Crow's Nest immensely on the Eurodam. Hopefully it's not too smokey:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
