If this balcony issue was one similar to no smoking in your room, or no smoking in the dining room, or no smoking wherever there are groups of folks congregating, would agree.
On a balcony? Wait to you get there and see how seldom anyone uses a balcony. That rule would never stop me and would not feel bad about it.
It is an idiotic one.

I FULLY understand your position. If it were a matter that there were no place to enjoy my cigar, then I might be inclined to go along with you. However, that's not the case and I think that I'll do my part to make sure cigar smokers keep their good reputation for not infringing on other people's rights.

And, yes, the rule may be idiotic...but if everyone just follows the rules they agree with there would be anarchy. Plus...my wife told me I couldn't smoke out there.

Always a much higher authority than any corporate establishment.

Why didn't you say so before?
Now THAT is a rule one must follow.

Smart man!
Only way I have lasted 33 years with my wife is by either obeying her rules OR letting her think I do.

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.

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.

My wife and I love it too -- and we got our friends addicted!

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.

)

[We cruise on Disney a lot since we have a timeshare with them, and we can use our timeshare for cruising!]
