Melthemag Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi all has smoking been banned in the casino on the Navigator of the seas when it sails from Southampton mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I haven't heard as of yet, but I know it was banned last year on the Indy. Note that this is a cruise line decision and not based on the port of embarkation. We just returned from a Princess cruise out of Southampton and smoking was allowed in the casino, and unfortunately drifted several decks up from the casino when traversing the forward stairwell.

Melthemag Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks for the answer DocLc , it was just that a friend of mine has just arrived back on the Indy and he said it wasn't allowed I wasn't sure if it was because it was sailing out of Southampton . btw I'm a first time cruiser on the navigator next month mel WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 You'll have a great time. I have been on the Navigator, but it's a favorite of many of those here. Melthemag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I believe the only ship in RC's fleet that has smoking banned in the casino is Empress of the Seas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an internet search, but couldn't find anything on the Navigator. I wonder if this is based on the demographics of the cruisers? On our Princess cruise last month, 80% with from the U.S. Perhaps the policy would have been different if the majority were UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I was wondering the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I believe there were some ventilation issues / limitations on Empress that were never fully resolved and they just couldn't deal with smoke in the casino on that ship.
