Smoking Areas On The Dawn

Not looking for a debate for against the new policy. I just want to know where the smoking areas are on the Dawn once the new smoking policy takes effect.

 

The only thing that has changed is that there is NO smoking on balconies as of NOV 1 . All the open area's as before are still open to the dirty habit.

The port (left) side of the pool deck (and other outside public parts of the decks) permit smoking. Whether they will restrict it further, I have no idea.

 

I did find it peculiar that half the jogging path went through a smoking area.

 

Thank you for your answer.

These are the best responses that I've gathered for Norwegian Star, which I believe is in the same class as Dawn, so perhaps same areas:

 

- I loved the Biergarten bar (aft – deck 14) overlooking the beautiful pool, lovely ocean breezes, music from pool area, smoking allowed, very friendly bartenders, lots of friendly folks, hardly ever crowded.

- Casino, only when playing – deck 6

-If I were selecting a cabin for a smoking friend who could easily manage a flight of stairs, my first inclination would be to pick a cabin convenient to promenade deck (I believe one side is smoking and it is covered and also close to plenty of other stuff) .so maybe deck 6 or deck 8. Near pool deck might work, too, but somehow I think were I a smoker, I'd like promenade better.

-If there is a cigar bar, smoking is also permitted there.

 

Just an FYI, my best response (the "if I were selecting a cabin") came from a non-smoker! Hope this helps.

We went with my in-laws(who smoke) on the Golden Princess last year. One of their favorite places to smoke was also on the walking/jogging track. I thought that was weird too. People walking/running to get exercise walking right past smokers. :confused:

I believe just the casino and the cigar bar as well as the pool area. Im a smoker and booked my cruise back in January with an AFT Penthouse Suite, balcony.....When I heard this took effect on Nov 1 I was bummed because I love my morning coffee/cigarette, before I start getting showered/ready as I will probably be a tad tired/hungover lol.....I called NCL and because our ship departs on Oct 31st, we are the last cruise on the Dawn to fall under the old policy, soooo lucky for me, I can smoke on my balcony, YAY! lol

Hi,

 

Would this be the same on the getaway? Port side of the pool is the smoking side? Literally anywhere on the port side?

 

Thanks guys.

 

 

No it's different on the getaway and breakaway. Smoking is permitted in the casino while playing and on the waterfront (deck 8) not near food venues. When I heard about the change November 1 I changed my cabin from deck 14 to deck 8 right next to the waterfront for the convenience of having my morning cigarette. May not be the best location (cabin 8780) but it is certainly the most convenient one for me. Also breakaway/getaway have an enclosed area for smoking on the pool deck I'm not sure if it will still be there after November 1.
