Cigars On Cruise

[DPD6030]

I'm thinking my 18 count should work out good for December cruise. Just under 3 per day.

I plan on 5 per day -- especially for sea days.

I took 16 for a 7 day cruise. I took 8 "everydays" and 8 Premiums. However, a guy bought me a Davidoff in the lounge. then I bought six Fuente's in St. Thomas. Then I bought 6 JdN's in the duty free shop. I brought those six home, plus one of the ones from St. Thomas. I also brought 2 premiums and one everyday back. I decided it was better to have them and not need them than to want them and not have them.

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!

It was a woman with two teenage kids I think who were smoking inside their cabin and the steward turned them in and confiscated the cigarettes while he was cleaning the room.

I don't know how it is on other cruises...but on the cruise we were on, you could smoke cigarettes in your room or on your balcony. You could not smoke cigars or pipes.

I didn't want to find out what was on the first three decks...might be a brig in there somewhere.

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.

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

Well, if you are smoking on your balcony, I'm sure someone else will know since the balcony's are so close together and the smoke would drift toward the fantail as the ship goes forward. If you smoked in your room, I'm sure the stewards would know as soon as they go in your room and they are in there 1-2 times a day.

But since cigars are banned and barely no one does it or get caught anyway, would they even know what a cigar smells like? unless they actually see it right..? what proof could they have? unless they are some how cigar smokers who just "knows"..

lol...I'm sure they know what a cigar smells like. They could always call down to the cigar lounge and bring in an "expert".

LOL.... ;/ all of that for a cigar, thats pretty crazy.. I always thought on something like a cruise the people in charge would have much better stuff to look out for like weapons,fighting,bandits, customer dispute,thef's and accidents.. You would think something as simple as smoking a cigar would slip through the cracks... but I guess you are right..

Sneaking liquor (even whiskey) is easy. I just do what I did in college...refill a saline solution bottle with your favorite liquor !

Saline solution bottle, my azz!!
I bring my bourbon aboard cruises with a 1/2 gallon Arizona Ice Tea bottle.
Keeps me happy until the 4th or 5th day, anyway.

We had two different methods of getting booze onboard:

1 - Filled Listerine whitening mouth wash bottles with Capts (the bottle is white).

2 - Filled 8-10 poland spring water bottles with clear rum or vodka and simply put a black dot on the bottoms. This was fun because we had to remove and put back the bottles without ruining the plastic it came in (24 pack).

No questions asked and it saved us a lot of $$$.

We're getting ready to book our honeymoon on the Norwegian Epic. It'll be our first cruise. I'm definitely planning on bringing PLENTY of smokes. Can't wait.

I didn't read through all the posts, but this summer I took a cruise from Boston to Bermuda and they had a great cigar lounge. It was on the Norwegian Spirit. They had beautiful humidors built into the book cases. I made sure to hit up the lounge every night.

I would imagine all the Norwegian ships are pretty similar. The Pearl had the same set up when it came to a humidor. There were about 10-14 cigar types to choose from and there were 14 leather chairs. Dimmed lighting and pictures and quotes from famous cigar smokers. It was a very relaxing place.
