Balcon Grand Princess...

[Yorkie]

Bonjour à tous,

Nous partons bientot à bord du à bord du Grand Princess... c'est notre première fois avec balcon... je sait que nous pouvons apporter quelque bouteille de vin et les consommer sur notre balcon... mais ce que je ne sait pas c'est si permis de fumer sur le balcon.... je précise nous ne sommes pas des fumeurs.. mais mon mari à l'occasion , surtout en croisière aime bien aller au cigar lounge pour consommer un cigar... comme cette fois ci nous avons un balcon je me demande si c'est permis de le faire sur le balcon tout en sirrotant un verre de vin je ne voudrais surtout pas incommoder mes voisins... avec la fumée croyez vous que ça pourrait déranger... avez vous déjà vécu des expérience désagréable.....

Merci de l'aide apporté...

Amicalement

Bonjour Christine alias Yorkie !

Oui, c'est permis de fumer sur le balcon. Votre stewart de cabine pourra même vous apporter un cendrier. Mais... car il y a un GROS "mais"...

Sachez qu'il est strictement interdit de jeter par-dessus bord les mégots de cigarettes ou de cigares... C'est d'ailleurs de cette façon qu'il y a eu un incendie en 2007 à bord du Star Princess (1 décès durant ce tragique évènement)... Un mégot de cigarette a été lancé par-dessus bord et il est revenu sur un balcon inférieur en raison du vent... on connaît la suite.

D'un autre côté, pour ce qui est d'incommoder les voisins, il faut évidemment surveiller de tous côtés (en arrière bien sûr, mais aussi au-dessus). L'an dernier, notre voisin de cabine en-dessous de nous et un peu en avant fumait sa pipe sur le balcon. Croyez-moi, nous avons été incommodés plus souvent qu'à notre tour... et je suis convaincu qu'il ne savait pas que j'étais sur mon balcon...

Ah bon! je croyais que presque toute les lignes de bâteaux interdisaient de fumer dans les cabines et balcons? En février dernier sur le Célebrity Equinox il était formellement interdit de fumer sauf aux endroits désignés.

Bien désagréable pour ceux qui ont à respirer cette fumer bien malgré eux !

Bonjour à tous....

Alain Bob , merci de votre réponse , c'est bien ce que je me doutais pour la fumée... alors je crois qu'on va continuer à aller au cigar lounge... je ne voudrais pas importuner des gens avec la fumée de cigare... et je ne voudrais pas ce que ça m'arrive non plus...

Lynette je suis surprise aussi qu'on puisse fumer dans les cabine... lors de ma dernière croisière avec NCL il y avaient des endroits désigné pour fumer mais peut de gens le respectait.......entre sur le bord de la piscine et sur les différent pont.... bien hâte de voir avec Princess cette fois ci ...d'accord avec vous bien désagréable d'avoir à respirer la fumée bien malgré eux......

Merci

Amicalement

Bonjour

Voici les politiques de fumée sur les bateaux, tels que fournies par VTG:

J'ai eu l'occasion de souffrir de la fumée à quelques reprises....

Une princesse aime bien l'air pur....zut de flûte.

Mais je vous trouve vraiment courtois de vous préoccuper de l'impact sur les autres passagers....

Sur le Grand Princess, il y a le Snooker's cigar bar....
Vous pourriez y rencontrer des gens intéressants qui dégustent avec vous! (pas vous, mais votre conjoint).

au plaisir
Francine

Bonjour Yorkie,

Pour avoir voyagée souvent avec des fumeurs (soeur et père), je confirme les dires d'AlainBob. Mon père aime bien fumer son cigare et il l'a fait à tout les jours sur le balcon, jamais en cabine avec Princess. C'était d'ailleur notre endroit de rencontre préfèré pour prendre l'apéro et avec 6 personnes qui discutent et rient, certains voisins n'ont pas dû nous aimer même si nous faisions attention. Comme quoi il est impossible de plaire à tous.

Nous sommes allés faire un tour au cigar lounge mais sur les navires de votre classe, disons qu'il ne sont pas trop invitant L'important dans le fond est de respecter les zones fumeurs et non fumeurs.

Alors, profitez au maximum de votre premier balcon.

[Yorkie]

Bonjour Toutou,

Il est vrai qu'on ne peut plaire à tous.... mais bon je vais tenter de faire attention le plus possible... cela ne devrait pas causer problème.

Je suis surprise de votre commentaire par rapport au cigar lounge... on verra bien rendu sur place j'espère ne pas trop être déçu.

Merci
Amicalement
