Smoking on deck 8 forward

[n2chocola8]

I am allergic to smoke and just realized my cabin is one deck below the area that smoking is allowed. My question if for those of you who have had a balcony cabin on forward starboard side did you notice any smoke bothering you while on your balcony?

Thank you

Smoke generally rises. But it does occasionally get caught in that corner if the windows aren't opened. There are times it can be smelled in the area around the stairs and elevator. If you're that sensitive to it you might try moving.

We will never EVER book a forward starboard room again. On our cruise in June, we were frequently awakened as early as 5:30 am from the smell of both cigarettes and cigars. We were in a forward cabin on Deck 7. Move if you can.

We also can not stand smoke and find the forward stairs unusable by us.

We learned this early on before the enclosures for smokers in the lounge but find the 

door open often and the air quality up there is still very poor.
