Rare Coral Posted January 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I know it was non-smoking on my Dec 20th cruise - it was so nice! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwilk1129 Posted January 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just got off Regal on Friday. It was great to be able to use the whole casino every day and not leave stinking from the smoking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafem Posted January 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Carnival just (quietly) announced smoking is back in the casino starting Jan 31. And the smoking bar will be back to smoking the same date. So, I'm pretty much assuming smoking will be back inside also on princess, I'll see in 2 weeks.

chamima Posted January 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 17, 2022 On our Jan.2 Caribbean Princess cruise the casino was packed every night despite it being non smoking. If that's what Princess is experiencing on all their ships I would imagine it will become permanent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those who like to gamble will continue to do so and those who would not go due to the smoke will now join them. I doubt they will lose revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted January 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just off the Ruby and boy was it ever wonderful to not have the entire piazza destroyed by smoke on sea days and at night on port days. Then on the last night I realized that the Disco up in Skywalkers might also be smoke free now so I ventured up. Lo and Behold it was!!!!! So I stayed up waaaay too late having a great time dancing. What fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedirn Posted January 17, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Does this mean they have now opened the cigar bar to smoking again? DH thought he wouldn’t get to enjoy a cigar while on our next cruise. He was saving an Opus X grandson bought him for Christmas . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told a friend who is going to cruise for the first time on Princess. This person was not going to use the casino because of the smoking. With the news that the casino is now a smoke free zone they have changed their mind and will now visit the casino to gamble. I think making the casino smoke free will be a win for Princess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After your cruise please start a new topic and let people know after your next Princess cruise if smoking in the casino is still banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking was definitely allowed in the disco area as recently as 2017. It was the first time I went to the disco and asked a crew member what was up with all the smoking? I was told there was a smoking section. Of course as we all know that translates to a smoking room. I never returned until a week ago when I realized all indoor smoking was banned. @pedirnindoor smoking lounges across the fleet are still closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. We are aware of outdoor smoking area. Just not appropriate for a cigar that costs $40-$42 a piece. Wind would burn it up fast and it wouldn’t be enjoyed. But it might be an option for a lesser priced cigar…..DH can bring a few of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted January 20, 2022 #20 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm not a smoker so was happy to see the casino go no smoking. And I hope it stays that way. Churchills, however, was specifically a cigar lounge so I would imagine once Covid is over (🤞🤞🤞) it will open up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
