Review summary

Thought ship was a non smoking or at least in the casino. Travel agent did not elaborate. Have been on Celebrity, Oceania, etc. where no smoking in casinos .

Due to allowing smoking in the casino of the NCL Getaway, the smokey and stale smells permiated from the 7th fl. down to the 6th and up to the 8th. Surprised that there was not better ventalation and/or at least spray for the smokey odor. In the mornings, you could still smell the smoke when one was on deck 6 waiting for guest services or the internet mgr. Due to the area being open all the way from the 6th fl to the 8th fl, the smoke and odors stay. When walking to the restaurants at the back of the ship, I had  to hold my breath as not to breathe in the smokey odors. P.S. I have problems with smoke and my chest closes up. Not a good experience for me.

specialty restaurants had the best food. however, that is asking the cruise passenger to spend additional dollars.

i personally miss the days when smokers were on their balconies smoking. i have found that it has really congested the other areas with too much smoke. i never had smoke go to my balcony when outside. i wish they didnt allow it inside the casino.

I didnt mind the smoking so much in the casino as I was very bothered by the people on both sides of us smoking on there balconies. the smoke would come right into our room or I could smell it when I was out on the balcony. if it happens again on our next cruise I will for sure say something. I have the right to enjoy my room/balcony without smelling smoke. they on the other hand DO NOT have the right to be smoking on there balconies.
