Bitterangel87 Posted July 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I don't want to go on vacation where I can't smoke on my balcony. So either way, not everyone can be satisfied. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwdnj Posted July 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Almost half of cruisers have a problem with smoking balcony neighbors. Wake up RCI! When I pay ten thousand dollars for a suite, I don't want smoke in my face during breakfast! Then book an inside or an ocean view. No smoke issue there. Or try another line. When i pay 10,000 for a suite i expect to smoke on my balcony if i so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted July 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2013 When i pay 10,000 for a suite i expect to smoke on my balcony if i so choose. I see in your sig you were on a 2/13 sailing of Celebrity Reflection, I imagine you were not able to smoke on your balcony on that ship? Perhaps, OP, Celebrity would be a good choice for you as they have far more restrictive smoking policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul65 Posted July 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Did you ever think about booking an inside cabin? You get even less quality time on your balcony with an inside cabin. I know there are many smokers who don't really care whether they're bothering those around them or not, there are also many who are considerate of others.

skiiergirl Posted July 17, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think they should make one side of the ship non-smoking and the other side smoking. Then let's see which side sells out faster!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 17, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 17, 2013 So you want RCI to change its policy because less than 600 people on cruise critic didn't like it out of their several million yearly passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare printingchick Posted July 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think they should make one side of the ship non-smoking and the other side smoking. Then let's see which side sells out faster!:) Don't know if you were kidding, but I've always thought this was a good idea. Not so much to see which would sell out faster, but to encourage more non-smokers to book balconies. I don't think they should totally eliminate smoking on the balconies. RCL offers that policy on their sister company, Celebrity. I'm a non-smoker, but I don't really have any problem with the current system. I HATE having to walk through the casino, but I can hold my breath that long. ;) There is a sufficient number of non-smoking areas to satisfy me, while still accommodating others. I'm typically a pretty intolerant non-smoker, but I think everyone should be able to enjoy their vacation. For some, puffing on that Cuban cigar is very enjoyable, and if they are in a smoking area, that's just fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul65 Posted July 17, 2013 #16 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Note to Non-Smokers: There are lots of ships and cruise lines that do not allow smoking on balconies. Not really. Among the mass-market lines, it was pretty much just Celebrity. Now Princess is in the mix, which is a step in the right direction. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, over 1200 respondents is a pretty decent size sample, but of course, it's not a scientific sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted July 17, 2013 #19 Share Posted July 17, 2013 So, it appears around 600 are bothered. Now in CC terms, we must remember that there are 40 or so cruise lines talked about here so that equates to around a grand total of 15 cruisers for rci:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the poll would be set up in a way to only vote once I might agree, but as you can vote as many times you want, the whole thing means nothing.

When I pay ten thousand dollars for a suite, I don't want smoke in my face during breakfast! So what you are saying we need to make RCCL aware of is the fact that over 50% of those polled have no problem at all with smokers on the balcony. Excellent, I for one commend you as so many people only contact the cruise line to complain or whine and moan about things! How great that you want them to know that a majority of respondents like and approve of how they have chosen to run their business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
