Review summary

It to me was utterly unorganized and slow the elevators we're to packed and very slow getting you Togo where you needed to be ok only 2 smoking areas is not fair to the smokers we paid the same amount as anyone else and we get sent to the casino or the 11th deck I feel any outside area should allow smokers to smoke instead of being separated from everyone else

As a veteran Carnival Cruiser, I found that a lot of the problem was due to the limited staff to cruisers ratio. They need to pay more money to attract more workers. Secondly, Who in the world builds a ship of that size and put in those small numbers of Elevators...the lconstant activities and the excellent staff make you forget truely makes that ship memorable. Carnival needs to stick to what works!

I don’t smoke. I do however use the casino. I don’t mind it so much it is to be expected in the casino. I do appreciate those that do smoke respect me for not smoking. Most all smokers are truly remorseful when they do catch me off guard. And for this I appreciate them. I wish the cruise lines would make more spaces available for the smokers.

I think with vapes you still have to stay in the designated smoking areas.

Ok I'm a smoker and I am respectful of those who do not smoke. I was actually shocked to know that we are even allowed to smoke in the casino. Smoking is the #1 cause of fires on a ship for one and two, people shouldn't have to breathe our second hand smoke. I will be taking a vape with me so that hopefully I won't bother the non smokers as much.

Cruising is very much for me. I'm just not easily offended.

It’s hard to believe people still smoke nowadays. You shouldn’t complain since y’all do have the casino. It wouldn’t bother me outdoors, but thankfully it’s not allowed in rooms. Can you imagine how much the rooms would stink if they did? 🤢

Well guess cruising is not for you then. There's a reason smoking is in designated area and it's nots just the courtesy of us non smokers but for safety as well. Guess you don't mind the possibility of being on a ship that's on fire in the middle of no where.

Second hand smoke is just as dangerous as smoking itself. We dont want cancer just because you choose to smoke. I am a former smoker and know how addicting it is but it is not fair to subject other people to your smoke.

It’s s health concern for many people - unfortunately when one chooses to smoke, it can, and does affect all those around them ~ I personally think it’s rude and disrespectful to smoke around non-smokers.

Exactly that smoke stinks and we don’t want to smell it. I wish they kick y’all out if the casino. Not to mention the second hand smoke is worse for us non smokers. Walking around smoke like a freight train .

They should separate you. No one should have to smell the smoke from your smoking. You created your smoking habit so live with the consequences.
