There's no way they were doing that from the outside. But please continue with your stories. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A place for the smokers to smoke all they want, with no impact to anyone else! I, of course, agree with you. But it's much too simple, they'll never figure it out. The amusing part is that smokers would probably pay a daily fee to use the room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But please continue with your stories. 🙄 I presume you know there is a button to open those sliding doors, right? Big green button? And you can stand in the middle of them and look inside when they are open? Sheesh, I just asked the guy to close the doors, and he went back inside (I assume it was "back" as he was smoking at the time). But sure, you go ahead and believe what you want to believe. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know that the door closes automatically in about 5 seconds unless you are literally holding it open. I am sure you believe the story you're telling, but I also believe your memory is a bit skewed. Have a wonderful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are disgusting ugly 🫤I recall not too long ago when some of the airports still had them, before most banned indoor smoking altogether. Even though they were well occupied most of the time, you usually couldn't see any people inside because the smoke was so thick. It was like the foggiest day you've ever witnessed in your life all the time. 😯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL would do well to take a look at them. But don't get me started about the cattle car on Deck 8. I can only last about 5 minutes, but there are people who sit there for hours and hours. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were very smokey inside, probably because everyone was smoking in there. And you mention they were "disgusting ugly"...I'm thinking that's also because people were all smoking in there. How do you go about making that look pretty? Edited August 6 by mightycruisequeen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much profound evidence that it will be harmful and now the cost. It’s over $8 a pack now. $8 a pack! Where I am, one will pay about $30-$40 a pack of 20. Now that's real incentive to quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHOA! Yep, USD20-USD30. Camel Blue or Filters are about USD26 a pack(25). A pack a day habit can, very quickly, add up to the price of a cruise.

I agree. HAL currently allows vaping inside cabins. Celebrity. our preferred cruise line, does not. However we have booked a HAL cruise for an Alaska itinerary not offered by Celebrity.

We just got off the Volendam last week and Vaping was not allowed in any cabins and restricted to the same locations as the smokers. Not sure where you got your information about Vaping on HAL ships.
