Wspinelli Posted December 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I am going on my first Celebrity Cruise on the Equinox in January, and I was wondering do they have a cigar bar onboard. I do enjoy sipping on a bourbon and enjoying a great cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted December 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2022 - No Cigar Bars on any Celebrity ship - Cannot smoke in any Celebrity ship's casino - Have to smoke outside - They sell cigars on board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis1209 Posted December 5, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I've never been on Equinox, but I would venture to guess that no, there is no cigar bar or lounge aboard. Celebrity is not a "cigar friendly" cruise line. I too like to end my night with my favorite stogie and my libation of choice. (That's what they did on Titanic and look how that turned out!) I did some research and found out that my upcoming Silhouette cruise had a cigar smoking section in the Sunset Lounge. It is on deck and uncovered, but from what I hear it'd a nice area. Have you ever been on a Norwegian or Princess ship? Most of them have an indoor dedicated cigar lounge. I'm sure Equinox will have a space for you. Enjoy your voyage!

Denny01 Posted December 5, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Yes, the Sunset Bar on the stern has a smoking area the OP can enjoy a cigar and bourbon at. den 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted December 5, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2022 We were just on Equinox sister ship Solstice and I saw cigar smokers at the Sunset Bar. The bar also sells cigars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted December 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The S-Class ships like Equinox allow smoking usually on the port side in the aft near the Sunset Bar. But not at the Sunset Bar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasdoc Posted December 6, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Fun cruise memory. My son and I enjoying a cigar on the lawn, many miles from land. Equinox June 2018.Looking forward to repeating this on Equinox July 2023. Will be our first cruise post-pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Years ago Michael's Club was a Cigar Bar and even had a ladies night. Smoking is no longer allowed anywhere inside on the Celebrity Fleet. On S-Class the best smoking area is Port Side at the Sunset bar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not correct, you must be thinking about another cruise line. Oceania does have an indoor smoking area in the Horizons lounge on the port side as you walk in, but cigars are not allowed in there. Sometimes people don't know that and might fire one up. It would make a great cigar bar smoking area though. Cigars and pipes on Oceania are only allowed in the smoking area on the pool deck, starboard side. Deck 12 on the O ships and Deck 9 on the R ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please forgive me if I was mistaken. Thanks for setting me str8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for forgiveness, LOL, I could see how someone casually passing by there might think it was a cigar room, but they are pretty strict about it.

Wspinelli Posted December 29, 2022 Author #14 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Thanks for the responses, I'm not adverse to enjoying my cigar outside. As a matter of fact, there is a no smoking rule inside my home rule in place. Sitting on deck in the evening smoking a Cubano and sipping on a bourbon, cognac or suffering through a Martini is better than sitting on my deck in the cold and snow! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado_Ag Posted December 31, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Good thread. We are sailing on Equinox 1/12. Just ordered a travel humidor so I can bring a selection of cigars for the Sunset bar area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wspinelli Posted January 3, 2023 Author #19 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Thinking about picking up a box of Cubans in Cayman, there are a few good cigar stores there. Haven't found a decent shop in Bonaire. I don't know the availability of cigars in Curaçao so if anybody knows of a decent shop there, I'd love to hear about it.

For real Cuban cigars you need to find stores or outlets for La Casa del Habanos. They will be very pricey but authentic. There is one in Grand Cayman (Harbour Dr. Georgetown). One in Curacao (201D Schottegatweg Oost, Willemstad, Curaçao). One in Bonaire (31 Kaya Grandi, Kralendijk). All very near the cruise ports. In Nassau you can get them at the Atlantis. Or go to the Graycliff Cigar company for genuine Graycliffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @TeeRick does GrayCliff have good prices? I'm looking at picking up a few cigars on my next trip, and was looking at doing it in FLL before I leave, but Nassau is our first stop. Cigars are crazy expensive here in Canada for me, so looking at getting a good option at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a short walk from the cruise terminal. I have not been there for quite some time so not sure about the prices. Check the website. I will be in Nassau on our Equinox cruise on Jan 22.

If you're staying in a hotel before/after your cruise in the US, as a fellow Canadian I would recommend ordering from somewhere like thompsoncigar.com and shipping them to your hotel. Prices on average are 2/3 cheaper than what we pay north of the border when you start finding deals. I've been doing this for years and only bought locally during the pandemic (when I was forced to, and when we couldn't travel). No cubans of course.

deliver42 Posted January 3, 2023 #25 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We got off the Beyond a couple of weeks ago, and I would think the smoking sections are the same as the Edge, By the Sunset bar, above the Mast bar, and outside Eden. The one over the Mast Bar was the most weather proof as it's covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
