Rare ToxM Posted February 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Hi all you lucky people onboard an O vessel at the moment. On a different group on a different platform, someone reported that there are now NO cigarettes available to purchase onboard. Please can one of you lovelies in the naughty corners please verify that you are unable to buy cigs from Horizons or Wave Bar when the ship is NOT in port. Please don’t bother replying to this topic if you don’t agree with smoking on board or want to say that it stinks etc etc. Not interested - just interested in the availability as listed above. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samiam0403 Posted February 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2023 We were able to buy cigarettes in Horizons when not in port on Sirena in November. They don't advertise it at all - luckily for us, a ship's officer was in the smoking lounge and gave us the scoop. (We had planned to buy cigarettes in our first port, but it got cancelled.)

This was my experience as well - even as recently as last month, but someone has said that they are onboard at the moment and no cigs are on sale. I am just wondering if this was a very recent change. Thanks for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted February 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2023 If the Marina ran out of Chilean sea bass, as previously reported, one of its most popular dishes, then it’s altogether reasonable that a particular ship might run out of cigarettes to sell. Absolutely nothing to do with policy. Just luck of the draw or poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted February 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I just now figured out that atm was for at the moment. I thought it was some kind of automated teller machine that dispenses cigarettes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted February 20, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm not a smoker, never have been. Loved the original ban on smoking but I have not had a problem with the current system -- other then sometimes walking across the pool deck and suddenly smelling a lot of smoke from above. Blamed that on myself, not the smokers. But given the restrictions on smoking on board I would be surprised if cigs are available on board. Never having looked for them, I don't know! I guess I always assumed that smokers would get their cigarettes on land, not on board. My bad, I guess. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepherd really Posted February 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Chilean sea bass's real name is Patagonian toothfish. It is a slow growing, slow maturing fish that being overfished and in danger of extinction. It should be taken off the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
