My husband and I just got back from Back to Back cruises of the Southern Caribbean departing San Juan, PR. Jan 16 and finishing up Feb. 2. The only reason that I booked this Cruise line was because Celebrity said that there was no smoking in the Staterooms NOR on the Balconies. and state that a $250. fine will be levied to those who do. Our previous trip to Mexico had lots of smoking on its balconies so we thought that we may have found the perfect cruise line. Wrong. On Jan 26th, smokers checked in to the left of our cabin, above us, and 2 doors to the right of us. Our attendant was called in and she called her supervisor who came down and went into those rooms and set them straight. Smokers smoke so we knew that we were in for a week of smoke. The first week had smoke, but not like the second. Looks like we haven't found the perfect line yet. We had no smoking on the Paul Gauguin in Tahiti nor the Flamingo in Galapagos. I get asthma and we live in California/Hawaii. We don't want to be around smokers anymore. Life is short.
