Fastfaller Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 So I was at my door when security showed up at the room across the hall from me. I heard security say someone reported them for smoking on the balcony so they monitored them with video and caught them doing it and have video evidence. They then asked if they could come in. I obviously wasn't privy to the rest of the conversation but I haven't seen them since. So what is the penalty for something like this? Just curious.

Ampurp85 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I recall reading that if you get caught smoking, they remove you. It's in the policy that smoking is only allowed in destinated areas and therefore you are breaking the cruise contract and subject to being removed or banned from the cruise line.

Hope Royal Caribbean took hard and fast action. It's a shared experience. Play by the rules or be gone.

Just wish Royal would do the same thing, or worse, to the lounge chair hogs by the pools!

I can tell you here on symphony they have removed people's belongings from some chairs that were being hogged. That being said it is few and far between. Still plenty of hogging going on.

I highly doubt they are removing people for a first offense of smoking- most of the time they don't even respond to reports of smoking. So either it was more than just cigarette smoke OR someone reported it over and over until security finally caved and came by. Hell, our room attendant saw my wifes cigarettes on the table and told her "if you smoke on the balcony, just make sure the neighbors aren't out and keep the butts in an empty can and not over the side" Of course, my wife only smoked in the designated area, but were definitely thrown off that the room attendant even suggested it!

I probably would have reported him for making the suggestion. Not a fan of people smoking in places they shouldn't. Growing up around it and had no choice or say. Well, now I do. Not in my face or space. Other than that, I'm a delight. LOL. HeWhoWaits, USFFrank, Bazza and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilley Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I don’t like when smokers tend to smoke in the non-smoking section in the casino. There is no one stopping them or redirecting them has been my experience Ampurp85, USFFrank, CanHardlyWait and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfaller Posted April 26 Author Report Share Posted April 26 Well I have to say I found it odd the smoking section was where it was, on 15 port near the pool. Then again, it seemed to be one of the windiest places on the ship so maybe that's why it is there ... All the smoke seems to blow aft.

BrianB Posted Tuesday at 12:07 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:07 PM I believe the minimum action is a warning. Then comes an additional charge added to the room account for ‘sanitizing’ the room to remove the smoke smell…whether or not you think there is any. After that comes the more drastic penalties like disembarkation and finally…banning. I’m thinking it depends a lot on the attitude of the offender. Being rude, nasty and insulting will likely result in elevating to the higher penalties. As will repeat offenses. As it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was never an issue issue when they allowed it on the balconies, people were a lot more spread out. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
