Hell they have plently of places to smoke but they have decided they have found their own private smoking den. The old bags troop in en mass every couple of hours and hold court. I kid you not one of them told me she did not understand why they allowed cigars and pipes in the place.

What use to be a class cigar lounge has turned into Princess Cruiselines minimart of lounges, cig after cig paired with the folks who come in for their quick fix of 5 or 6 drags and then fly out the door. Ashtrays overflowing with lipstick covered butts.

After complaining to deaf ears it's adios to Princess, 11 cruises with them but no more. Can't wait to exit the ship in a couple of days.

There have been plenty of positive experiences posted here -- I've read them and even posted some.

The Disney Cruise lines treat cigar smokers pretty well. The two older ships (Magic and Wonder) allow you to smoke on your verandeh or in the smoking areas on decks 9 and 10. On the longer cruises the staff have arranged cigar events in the evenings when there is enough interest. The two newest ships (Dream and Fantasy) also have a cigar lounge.
