Thank you for this warning!!! I also hate that the smoking area on deck 14 is one of the main thoroughfares from front to back of the ship. They should make a smoking area similar to this covered area up on deck 15/16 so it doesn't effect any staterooms

I totally agree, that would be an awful location

I'm a little late to the party but I have the same issue with my Apartment being above a cafe that has outdoor seating where smokers create fumes from 6am to 10pm 7 days a week. I never use my balcony.

yes, I’m also currently on the ship and a disabled cabin. Nowhere else to move to because people that are not disabled are in disabled cabins and there is smoke coming from crew areas. I don’t understand this is very simple, put all the smokers on the back of the ship in the open air. It is not appropriate for 5 to 10% of the cruise to bother the other 90% of the people.

I agree, being above the smoking area must be repugnant. Currently, we are below the solarium, near the smoking area. The noise has been an issue. We weren’t charged for all of the noise, so I guess we won’t complain. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I do have one thing to say about Royal Caribbean, they *do have the hardest beds it sea…. which I hope is rectified…

I agree

8 am until 4 _am_ ??

4 years ago we were in 8670 and it felt like we were on top of this smoking area and that was even higher up! It wasn't just the smoke, it was also noisy and I wouldn't book any balcony on that side of the ship behind the back elevators again.

So? You got upgraded from an ocean view room where you couldn't even go outside at all. Think of this as the same room except with a bigger view.

Totally agree ! I’d hate that too! Nice enough room..can’t use the balcony..not really an upgrade!

Actually, this is good information. I would definitely avoid this one.

Nice

Yeah, not all upgrades are great. Learnt that from Tips For Travelers

You're right--The only thing worse would be if they plumbed a pipe from the smoking lounge directly into your cabin!! Thanks for the tip. I'll never cruise Royal Caribbean.

Smoking is a disgusting, filthy addiction, I would have been angry too. I've stayed in many beautiful condos with gorgeous views overlooking the ocean, only to end up with a smoker just below, meaning the deck is useless because of their pollution. I have no idea why people cramming themselves in these tiny spaces, to float around on overcrowded ships sounds like "fun", but I suppose you can spend your "dream trip" money on whatever you like.

That’s terrible.

Thank you for sharing this important piece of information. My cruise on this ship is going to be a once-in-a- lifetime trip, so I'm going to make sure this will not be my room.

I want to be directly above the pot smoking lounge tho.>>>>That would be an upgrade,

oh man, wow thats not good. What a stupid place to put smoking on a lower floor. What are they thinking?

Yeah you complain too much

Ohhh that would annoy the crap out of me. What were they thinking.

Who cares 😁

Best cabin ever!!!!

Not to mention zero privacy

Boo whooo

In all honestly this is the saddest part of the design on quantum class ships - even if there wasn’t a smoking zone there - almost all the balconies - including the most expensive royal loft suite are pushed inside so there’s always something obstructing your view - it’s either a smoking zone or life boats or an extended roof/floor - prefer ships where you step out into your balcony and look down directly at the water

Sucks that you had that room during ur trip

That’s awful! Thanks for sharing!

Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half

You should ask to change rooms

The smoking promenade is the worst area on the ship.... Absolutely stinks.....

well this is the worst cabin cuz the ocean view is far and obstructed, and it was a bad decision from the beginning and a plus is the smokers!

Nice video thank you for sharing big like stay connected 2

Simple solution to a complicated problem. Ban ALL smoking on cruise ships. There are not that many smokers, maybe 5% of passengers smoke. Most of the smokers on board play the slots in the casino, making it a running gauntlet to get to the blackjack tables. They also sit at the bars, monopolizing the stools so they can have their smokes. Hey, if you want to ruin your health and get COPD later in life, that’s your decision. But do in on your own time. Not during my vacation time.

Wawawa..... stfu you had a ocean view. You still do, dont use the balcony dumbass. I know you won't smell smoke if you dont open the doors. Say you do and your a liar cause they are sealed waterproof.

Wouldn’t all the smoke just blow backwards by the force of the ship moving forward?

really! as a non smoker now (9yrs of non smoking) Ive seen smokers and the smoke blows away as quickly as its there.. Also, you're not supposed to have your balcony door open as there is an air conditioning going and it creates a vortex.. Lesson learned..check it out b4 you board

The worse cabin? Seriously? I thought you got hell hole!. Not you are not. You got a fairly spacious cabins for a ship cabins (that might cost you a lot), have double windows, two big single bed, the awful thing about your cabin is only the very very questionable blue sofa

Screw smokers, its like taking a dump in front of people and letting them smell it

Maybe you should start bub.

Thanks brother your video was very helpful

I'd be so ticked off too, not to mention disappointed. The smell of smoke (and sound of people talking late) is the worst.

I wish I could have a ride with any room..

I can’t believe they put the smoking section on the lower decks. On the Disney Dream the only smoking section was the very top most deck. Nothing above it.

omg that's officially the worst cabin ever!!

They should have asked if you were a smoker, if not this cabin should be instantly taken off your upgrade list

Lol, put a smoker in that room and they wouldn't be braking the rules smoking on the balcony. 🤣🤣🤣

If she is smoking hot nothing wrong with her🤤

Hahahahaha

we had that cabin in November 2019 going to New Zealand and I agree all you smell is people smoking its disgusting
