It is a privilege and as such can be regulated to stop the true right of innocent people not to be harmed … which is why a person is not allowed to drink and drive . No one has the right to harm another human being . They say as they continue to kick this thoroughly dead horse.. 🙄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designated Smoking Areas: Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam Sea View Bar area We are going on the Niew Amsterdam in Alaska next year. We are not smokers but think we can get by with only one smoking area on the ship. We might have to avoid the Sea View area but can live with that.

Helen I spent considerable time this past winter and secondhand smoke was noticeable most of the time. From my perspective, the Sea View pool area wasn't useable.

Helen That's fine and I support your right to smoke in any of the approved areas, however perhaps that explains why you may not be as sensitive to secondhand smoke in surrounding areas.

Enjoy your cruise I'm a non-smoker, and have the same perspective as they do, so your assumption about sensitivity to secondhand smoke doesn't apply to me. You'll have try another assumption in my case.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 81Zoomie Posted May 3, 2023 #800 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Does anyone know why HAL doesn’t have a consistent smoking policy across its fleet? Most other cruise lines have fleet wide policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
