skidroe Posted December 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I am currently on the Diamond Princess. The crew smoking area is back to pre-Covid , in the crew area on deck 4. No more crew smoking on deck 7 aft The passenger smoking area is at lido deck aft and on the aft starboard side deck 7. Hopefully the rest of the PCL ships will follow. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare c-boy Posted December 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2022 it's good to know where to go ..... or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marden1970 Posted December 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hopefully this will spread to other ships as well.. We splurged on an aft facing full suite for our January '23 Panama Canal cruise on thee Emerald and I am really concerned that we will not be able to use our balcony because of the cigarette stench. It will also open up the promenade deck for full walk around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruzin4us Posted December 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The Ruby has also switched the crew smoking area. They are no longer smoking on deck 7 aft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellon1 Posted December 2, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2022 😁 I am soooo very happy to hear this. Hopefully on the Caribbean Princess it will follow. We have an aft balcony on Deck 9. Anyone know if CB has stopped the smoking too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripmode33 Posted December 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Sad to report that we're on Grand Princess at moment and back of Aft Promenade still roped off for crew smoking. Same on Coral Princess recently. Let's hope that the good news and change of policy spreads throughout the fleet quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted December 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The Sapphire had no smoking on the aft promenade either. I sailed her the first 2 weeks of November. Just the small section on starboard aft as usual. What a relief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted December 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 7, 2022 This is all great news! We were on the Emerald in May and the smoking was seriously an issue while in our corner aft balcony. We were on the Grand in September and crew smoking on the Promenade was still an issue. This also prevented people from walking the full Promenade. We will be on the Sky in June and hopefully the crew will return to their area pre -covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripmode33 Posted December 7, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 7, 2022 On Grand today, first time we could walk the entire promenade. Fingers crossed, management have listened, and it is not temporary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bob Posted December 8, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks for this information. We are on the Diamond in January with a Aft Mini Suite on Deck 8. Was just a little concerned about the smoking on deck 7 being a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think things went back to normal. Edited December 9, 2022 by Coral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
