Is Smoking a side affect of Covid? 
If its not how the hell did we get from smoking in casino to stats about covid death rates in under 20 posts? 
Ships are sailing, restrictions are being lifted lets leave all this Covid posts in the past and look to a better happier future! 

I really don't have a horse in this race. As I already said, I'm a nonsmoker.  I quit in 2008 and haven't looked back.  I really don't care, I can go to the casino and enjoy myself in or out of the cloud, or I mean in or out of the smoking/nonsmoking areas.  My only concern is watching an underclass, and that's what smokers have socially become, be discriminated against and bullied.  My wife and I spend a lot of time in casinos, all over the place, not just on a ship, and we don't have any issues with smoking sections.  Do I tend to gravitate towards the nonsmoking areas?  Hell yes I do.  But, you will never hear me talk down about smokers like they are dogs.    

I was on that sailing. We heard the alpha, but did not notice the ships movement. We did witness the guy that security was after. We had been sitting with our luggage at the schooner bar near the Royal theater side. We were the first groups to go down to line up to get off the ship. Line never moved, so we sat on stools to wait. About a hour later, a man came sprinting thru the bar and ran down the stairs with security officers running after him. A guest ran down the stairs and tackled him at the bottom of the stairs along with security. Guy was handcuffed and taken away. A minute later, they had the passenger that tackled him go with them. Customs officer went to where they were holding the guy. When the guy that tackled him came back, he told us the guy had a warrant out on him. Security guy came by and told us we would be cleared to exit the ship now. I do not understand why they didn’t arrest the guy when he tries to exit the ship, instead of inconveniencing thousands of passengers. After that it still took another hour to get off the ship, resulting in us missing our 11:25 flight home. Before we headed down with our luggage, they kept paging the same guy to go to guest services over and over again. The captain even made the announcement a few times. Don’t know if this was the guy they were looking for.
