question smokey rooms About This Page:

[magicbuc]

I cannot seem to find anyone discussing this topic. I was wondering if the adult areas like the adult night club and comedy club get very smokey. My husband and I do not smoke and it really bothers us. Are we going to want to stay away from these places?

to the boards

I unfortunately did so much during the day that i never made it to the clubs but I can say that on my cruise i only smelled smoke once while by the adult pool as i walked through the smoking area but it wasn't at all bad.

Just wanted to welcome you to the boards!

Welcome to the boards ! I don't remember smelling any smoke EXCEPT the man in the room next to us smoked cigars on his verandah.

We had absolutely no issues with smoke I'm not sure if it's just well ventilated or we were lucky, but we were fine.

We went to Sessions for a drink before dinner and smoking is allowed there, but we never smelled it. Granted, we were there about 7:30 and left just before 8, but there were a few people in the back of the room smoking and it didn't carry. Other than that, I don't recall even seeing smoking.

Those few spaces where they allow smoking have special ventilation systems to cope with it. While there are times you might detect smoke, none of the rooms ever get smokey in a bar/lounge/casino sense of the word.

Dave, is there any chance that DCL attracts fewer smokers? You know, Disney being so squeaky clean and everything. :-)

Seriously, do you think that's a possibility?

[Dave Marx]

Dillon, it's possible. The absence of the casino may play a contributing role, as it seems (at least to non-smokers) that there's a higher percentage of smokers among gamblers than there is among the general population. (Now, the newer Vegas casinos tend to be very well ventilated, but the old-style places like Binions are a horse of a different color).

Carnival had the Paradise as a non-smoking ship. They ended it because apparently the weren't getting enough action in the casino or the bars. They were also having problems with groups because if you get 20 adults together, you'll always end up with a few smokers. And if Uncle Earl and Grandpa Johnson can't go, they'll find another ship. Thus endeth the "great experiment".

RUMORS: The IMO will be issuing a regulation banning smoking on balconies, probably in 2008 for implementation in 2010. And the possibility of an outright ban in 2010 for 2012. But that's just a rumor right now, although at least one of the people I heard it from is "closely connected". ie, she gets her paycheck there, but in measurement regulation and not passenger regulation.

We went to Sessions 6 nights in a row, and I dont' remember any problem with smoke - and I have asthma so I certainly would have noticed.

To be perfectly honest, the only smoky area I've run into on any cruise ship is the casino. I don't gamble, so problem solved.
