Carnival Pride Cigar Bar review

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. We cruised Norwegian this past Summer and totally enjoyed it. The cigar lounge was off in a corner past the piano bar, etc. They had about the same selection as yours with maybe one or two exceptions. There were 14 leather chairs and piped in jazz. There were times when I was the only one in there and there were never more than six of us in there at a time. The waitress from the bar next door would come in and check on us and if you bought a cigar she would go to the bartender and get a cutter...unless you had your own.

Since this was the only cruise I've been on, I can't really compare, but my experience with them was very good. There were a few times when members of the crew would come in since the back door accessed the crew "tunnels" and they could use the room for cigarette smoke breaks. It was interesting to talk to them and they didn't smoke up the room too bad.

That is a testament to the fad nature of, well, modern America. When cigars were "IN" I imagine they
tolerated a little more smoking. But now that we are back in the witch hunt times, it's every man or
woman for themselves. They have a cigar lounge with the same name as the past, but a whole new
attitude it sounds like. Unless Arnold was to come aboard, then maybe it's 1995 all over again.
Face it we are all scum and will not be tolerated.
