I have been on the Island Princess twice and I am less than impressed with that lounge. You are right about the cig smokers holding court. I finally found a spot on the aft of D-Deck that overlooked the wake and had very little wind while underway.

We just returned on the Carnival Splendor and I couldn't have been happier. Instead of a small, cramped "lounge" where cigarette and cigar smokes are crammed in on top of each other, the cigar bar was spacious. Plenty of room for everyone, with live entertainment to boot.

This is the first cruise ship I've seen that provided a decent indoor space for smokers. I just booked us again on the same ship next year. The cruise line that treats me like a human being gets my $$.

Island Princess cigar lounge while small use to be a great place to enjoy cigars. Not so many years ago it had a full time steward from 6PM on.....now days it is but a shell of what it once was.

Currently their are a half a dozen people in the lounge all smoking their cigs + a women crocheting.

As far as smoking on one's balconey it all depends upon if your next door cabin puts up a stink.

I'm looking forward to getting back home to my own cigar room and spending time down at our Seattle cigar club, www.thevertigoclub.com

Wait?.... Is that supposed to be a bad environment to smoke cigars in?


P.S. You cigar club looks awesome. Wish there was something like that by me.
