sammamishcruiser Posted August 28, 2009 #676 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi Carol Sounds like you and I are much alike, I too don't like cig smoke! Makes me feel ill AND I wear contacts! NOT a good combo:(:eek:. Good news is that on Celebrity ships smoking is VERY limited - YEAH !!! I think its in one or two places just on the port side. never in the staterooms or on the balconies (I think there is a fine of $250) There is also no smoking in the casino, before I could not even walk through the casino but maybe now I'll spend more time there (and money, hehe) I just love being on a cruise ship!!:D Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it more convenient, especially if I take naps, I don't have to fiddle with the contacts. Anyway, Yes, the smoke would bother and irritate my eyes and I would start tearing and then my eyes would hurt. hubby can't take smoke cuz of his allergies. I was thinking of the same thing... that now I can go into the casino and spend more $$ ! I am glad Celebrity is limiting their smoking areas - there were some cruises where our next door balcony folks would spend all their time out there smoking so we would stay in and close the door shut!- I know it's their right to and if they are allowed, then fine, they can do it- but if we didn't have to inhale it, it's better for us - carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking is allowed on decks 4,5 portside, also on the port side of the pool deck(I believe deck 11) by the Aqua Spa cafe. Also the Costellation lounge allows smoking. There was no smoking in the Casino. As for points... 1 for sailing 1 for suites 1 for voyages over 12 nights. The most you can accumulate per sailing is 3. (We got three on our sailing... 1 for suite,1 for sailing an 1 for a 12+ night cruise) We are sailing the Millie in March... can't wait. I love the M class ships. They are not a large ship and with the small number of passengers compared to other ships of this size it does not feel crowded. Food and service was fantanstic also.

Desert Cruizers Posted August 30, 2009 #679 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Good morning, I can't wait to hear from our friends on how they liked their first Celebrity Cruise. I am not positive but think they went out on the Infinity. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cctn Posted August 31, 2009 Author #680 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I sailed the Infinity in April.... here is what I saw and remember..no smoking in rooms or balcony's (I was really mad, as a smoker, as the workman had smoked on my deck and I wasn't) They only fine you if someone complains about smelling smoke....I knew all my neighbors and likely could have smoked but did not.

Barb thanx Barb - smoke didn't start to bother me til I was diagnosed with asthma 5 yrs ago - controlled tho' - before that, when smoking was allowed I was working 8 hrs/day with smokers at work who would smoke all day long at the office. Now my eyes hurt too - looking forward to the Infinity! to the service and a new cruiseline in general= I am considering it a new experience all together!

cctn Posted September 1, 2009 Author #681 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Good Morning everyone........We're looking to try Celebrity too! Carol - love your new diamond! :) I looked thru the diamond catalog and couldn't come up with one I really really liked - so for now, the old one will do - even Patti on the diamonds thread said it was ok and not making my posting go all over the world! ha!ha! I aim to please - it's my thread too and I certainly do not want to make anyone unhappy about my entries. I am computer tech challenged so it's hard for me to understand some things, but I think this one is working for everyone.. can't believe it's been one week since our lunch - I do hope everyone involved in the fires are safe - I feel so bad for them, it's hard and I would be devastated if I had to deal with what they are going thru. carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted September 12, 2009 #700 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I don't recall a persons question but whenI read it the only comments I saw were sarcastic ones. I proceeded to answer the question asked and was thanked for it. Majority will answer a question. We were all new to CC and to Cruising, so feel assisting others is the right thing to do.
