Problem solved. You are 100% correct and that is the problem. The music walk isn’t supposed to be a smoking area but much of that area does indeed smell of secondhand smoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the heck of it, I counted 49 people in Seaview smoking section at 3:30 pm today. It is a port day (Rotterdam). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richstowe Posted February 24, 2023 #682 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm pretty anti smoking but it is dishonest to claim smokers and their travel companions make up a tiny insignificant population of 25 - Seriously ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I’m sure HAL could fine an equal amount of passengers if they announced it was completely non-smoking indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the HOLLAND America's ROTTERDAM, cruising out of AMSTERDAM, with lots of Europeans onboard, there were lots & lots of smokers onboard. The entire Sea View bar were mostly packed, with no extra sitting chairs avail. Great bunch of friendly folks enjoying their fav vice. Our group smokes only cigars, so the only space for us is the outdoor bar, no indoor spaces, including the casino. There are literally hundreds of other public spaces avail for the anti-smokers, including all of our spouses, to spend their time, without venturing into our One allowed outdoor space... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my recent cruise on Westerdam I was grateful that smoking in it's casino is banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 16, 2023 #691 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I’m honestly facepalming myself. It never even occurred to me in this day and age to check that HAL was still allowing smoking inside. My bad for booking without checking. Sailing NS.

I believe we’re booked on the same cruise. Nieuw Statendam. I don’t think the itinerary can be duplicated on another line so I’ll possibly save money with staying out of the casino for 28 days 🤷🏻♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted March 20, 2023 #696 Share Posted March 20, 2023 OK - I finally took a look at the pinned threads. Regarding smoking (not that I have anything against going back and reviewing the prior 695 posts, lol)... where is it permitted (indoors and out)? Unfortunately I see that the casino is one of those locations - Rotterdam. When we sail on Celebrity, sometimes I can't find the casino (as I'm not led to it due to the smell of smoke) !! Thanks, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Tom Smoking is permitted on one side of the Rotterdam casino. The side with the tables is smoke free. The Rotterdam has also added a smoke free area with approximately 30 slots that is 100 ft from the main casino. Smoking is also allowed on the starboard side of the ship just past the seaview bar on deck 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTN Posted March 26, 2023 #698 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Is it allowed: Smoking in cabins? Smoking in Casino? Anywhere else indoors? Smoking on Balcony? We've been on about 10 HAL cruises, but it has been a few years. Hope things have improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
