Review summary

I took this survey yesterday, but I forgot to mention one very important thing, smoking areas. Our cabin was on the seventh deck and the smoking was on deck 5, just below us. Sometimes the smoke rising up to our cabin was so bad that we had to close our balcony door. Also, one corner of the pool area was reserved for smoking. It would be so thick when walking through there that we avoided that corner. The third was on the top deck bar in the rear. One side was for smoking and the other was non-smoking. Again, the smoke from the smoking area would drift over to the non-smoking area and we would have to leave. We noticed also when this happened that the non-smoking area had no one there. We realize that smokers need a place to smoke, but many times in interferes with non-smokers.

We would not book another cabin just above the smoking area.

What cabin were you in? I will need to investigate where we are in regards to smoking areas.

Can't wait for the day they make ships smoke free. All that fresh sea air tainted with foul cigarette smoke.

I still dont understand why smoking is allowed anywhere on the ships. The smoke is so bad and it really upsets me seeing parents smoking with their kids right there.

We had a similar experience on the Golden Princess. The main and most direct thoroughfare to the kids club was through the smoking section of the bar. Seemed pretty illogical to me.
