Just did the 3 day Ensenada cruise on Navigator of the seas. They have a small smoking section on deck 11 by the pool deck and a whole side of deck 4 with smoking allowed. I’m a cigar smoker and some ships have designated cigar/pipe areas and/or times but this was “allowed” just as cigarettes. I pretty much had deck 4 to my self every evening after dinner. I’ll be there for the New Years cruise if you will. 🛳

Just went on Liberty of the seas April 2022 and cigars were allowed during cigars under the stars from 6-10pm at sky bar outside. Nice to have designated area but still irritating that they are so restrictive on this. Does it really matter that it’s a cigar and not a cigarette in a smoking area? They got rid of cigar bar in connoisseur club so you only have one choice. Going on Navigator in December and hoping they at least have cigars under the stars option. Will update then.

No problem

Usually able to find a spot to have a cigar. Miss the balcony days. Cigar lounges are decent but I enjoy the outdoors while cruising. The “smoking” sections patrols are hit and miss. I was asked to move on last cruise(carnival) but explained not enough seating in cigar section at back of the ship, so he said just hide it and let me be. I’d rather be at the back and secluded if possible anyway. I’m very considerate of my smoke, unlike many cigarette smokers. And to differentiate between cigar and cigarette smoke is ridiculous. Just sayin. Going on RC in April and they have a lounge I’ve used several times before. It’s nice and was always open but as I said I hope to find a spot at the back to enjoy my smoke and tunes and sea.
