Re: Cigars On Cruise
My wife and I went on a cruise to Alaska on the Norwegian Star in 2007. I smoked cigars on the outside deck and on an upper level with the pool. No one said anything to me. We didn't have a balcony though. The cigar bar was empty all the time.

Re: Cigars On Cruise
I was on an NCL cruise last year and had no problem smoking cigars on the balcony - looking to book a second - if they changed there policy that may change the line on book on.

Re: Cigars On Cruise
Well, got back from the cruise yesterday. NCL was a very, very good experience. Believe it or not, I didn't miss smoking on the balcony for a second. In fact, I might not have smoked there even if I could. I loved the cigar lounge, talked to a lot of people there and felt like a king. (You know the saying, "in a world gone blind, the one eyed man is king.") A lot of folks down there who are not regular cigar smokers who need a little advice.
They sell cigars down there, but the selection isn't much as far as quantity, but the quality is pretty good. They had flavored cigars, but I didn't see anybody smoking them. They had two sizes of Davidoff's; Fuente's; Macanudos; D.R. Cohiba's; the prices were in the $6-13 range. It was great sitting back and relaxing in a leather chair with a good cigar and having JFK; George Burns; Babe Ruth; Lou Gherig; Milton Bearl; Winston Churchill; Groucho Marx; and Sigmund Freud staring at you. :) I highly recommend the Norwegien Cruises...they were good to me. |
Re: Cigars On Cruise
That's great! I am glad that you had a really good experience and enjoyed yourself!

Re: Cigars On Cruise
Awesome.
I LOVE CRUISING!!! Can't wait for my upcoming one. Very nice cigar lounge on this ship I am going on. |

My wife and I are going on a Transatlantic from Orlando to Barcelona in the spring on the Disney Magic, and then we are going on the maiden voyage of the new Disney Dream in January 2011! Best of all, the new Disney Dream has a cigar lounge (not that I mind using my verandah or the deck, but it is always nice to have a "special place" with comfy chairs, etc.:ss) [We cruise on Disney a lot since we have a timeshare with them, and we can use our timeshare for cruising!] |

I went on one Disney cruise and found them to be nothing shy of outstanding. Like anything Disney does, their ships are a truly nice and what a great experience for the kids. |

I'm hoping this works out right. I've never tried to attach anything on this board. If it works, you can see the relaxing atmosphere of the cigar lounge on the Pearl. I also remembered that they have Montecristo's and Partagas tubos for sale.

This is a picture of the inside of a souvenir shop in St. Thomas American Virgin Islands. I found the people there to be really nice. This walk in humidor was pretty good, although I really didn't care much for the guy behind the counter's knowledge...but that's just me. I didn't buy any cigars here, I went down to another place with a smaller humidor. The smaller humidor had open boxes of Opus', tins of Opus'; Fuente's; Padrons; and five packs of a cigar from Barbados that uses Cuban filler tobacco. (Royal Barbados maybe.) Anyway, my wife shopped for purses; tshirts; etc...and I shopped for cigars...seemed about right. :)

Re: Cigars On Cruise
hehe, its a good thing that Dutch customs didn't stop me when I came back from the US. I am allowed to bring in 50 cigars and 1 liter of alcohol. I had about 150 and 3 liters :r

On my cruise my favorite bartender would make me a nice drink in the evening (single malt scotch or tequila; usually a double) which I would take back to my room and enjoy on the balacony with a cigar and a good book. The great thing about the balacony is that you can leave the hustle-and-bustle of the ship behind for some peace and quiet. |
Re: Cigars On Cruise
I went on the MSC Orchestra in the spring. It had a great Cigar Lounge. I met the author the "Fodor's Guide to Cruising" in the lounge, as she and her husband happened to be on the cruise reviewing the ship. They said it was the nicest cigar lounge on the seas, regardless of price (they've been on just about every ship). It is an Italian line, and I guess they never got around to clearing out the humidor when repositioning to the U.S. They had CCs available and even had Havana Club rum at the bar. Best of all, this was a very low price cruise, but it was great.

I also very much enjoy the ocean breeze and nothing but water ahead of you when spending the days at sea, sitting in the balcony early mornings, with a pot of coffee or two delivered to my room, and just float off into who knows where land. Wife is usually still asleep and it is the most quiet, all to myself, nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to speak to time I can think of. It truly makes my trip. Then of course, the cigar lounges and deck smoking areas are also places for me to enjoy but they generally have hustle and bustle. |

Take the bands off and put em in your wallet and when you get home put the bands back on. Never seen a TSA person yet who can tell an unbanded cuban from a ball point pen.

Re: Cigars On Cruise
Well, we just returned from our cruise down the Baja side of Mexico. Great weather, excellent ship and staff, and some wonderful cigars. One reason I enjoy cruises is because I have the time to light up bigger cigars, and then sit back and really appreciate them.
I smoked mostly larger Churchill cigars this trip, and even fired up a Lusi on my birthday. :tu I think the smallest cigar I smoked the entire trip was a robusto, which is a big change for me. Sad news from Cabo though. Hemmingway's, one of two LCDH distributors there, has shut down. The building has a large for rent sign across it now. Thank goodness we have another cruise booked for March. :ss |

On one cruise, made friends with the comedian that was main event and we ended up having a blast in the cigar lounge at 2 a.m., smoking away so I shared a smoke with him. On another, met an 85 yr. old Cuban enjoying cigars in his wheelchair. I shared some with him. I have also run into Head Waiters, who love CC's and have traded CC's for bottles of wine. In fact, on one cruise, 4 CC's got me three bottles of wine, one per night for three nights. So......always take more as you just never know if you will need them. Quote:

Like others have said, I also gave two CC's away. One guy was in the lounge on the first night of the cruise and we got to talking about family troubles he was having. He was smoking a Padron '26 and stated that he had never smoked a CC. He said he'd catch me later...but we never got hooked up again in the lounge. I gave another away to a guy that hung out a lot in the lounge. He was sailing with his mom, dad and two aunts. He was a really good guy and very grateful. Have a great cruise! |

Re: Cigars On Cruise
Hey about the cigars on a cruise, how would anyone even know if you are smoking it if you do it in private?
