If you don't smoke, make sure that your neighbor does not. We were on the
QM2 Jan12 2004 for a couple of weeks and the old guy next door lit up in the
mornings, we left the door open during the night, and if the wind was
blowing right, the aroma came right in...

Otherwise, the ship had a multitude of cigar brands for sale and the
environment was nice. (Other than a few things failing- but then again it
was the inaugural cruise)

Any other questions you may have, please just ask. It seems I'm in
the mood to talk about the QM2 today ;-)

Karen, who was last on this ship in May.

I'll take you up on that,while the mood lasts!
What is the ship's policy on smoking? Allowed in cabin? In bars? On
deck? Not at all? (shudder)
and, 2: How many bars are there on the ship and what licensing
hours do they have?
Thank God I checked back on the spelling he I found I'd put
'bras' for bars .....

That's okay. I would have told you about bras on board ;-)

Oh, well, at my age, finding a quiet bar is of more interest than
finding ladies' underwear!

Anyway, we don't smoke cigarettes, so we never really concerned
ourselves with smoking in our cabins and if it was permitted or not.
from Ed's f/up above, it seems his neighbor got away with it.

My DH smokes cigars occasionally, but I usually just send him out on
the balcony with those. In the bars and lounges, smoking is
permitted, but smokers are usually limited to one side of the room or
at the bar.

That's fair enough.
There are a multitude of bars, some connected to pools and restaurants
on board and others stand-alone, such as (my favorites) the Chart Room
and the Commodore Club, both great for sail-away times and sunsets
before dinner. The bars are open to about 12:30 - 1 AM. There's also
the Veuve Clicquot Champagne bar adjacent to the Chart Room, which is
quite nice, too. The Winter Garden is open until 10 PM, but I
personally think there are other nicer places to drink on board.
There's also Sir Samuel's Wine Bar across from the Chart Room. That
is operational until midnight.

The pool bars are open to about 5 or 6 PM. There's not much traffic
there during fall, spring and almost-winter crossings, though. The
G32 nightclub is great and is open until everybody goes back to their
cabins and to sleep. So is the Golden Lion Pub. The casino bar is
also open until everybody clears out.

I think I'm missing a few places to drink, but that should be enough
to keep you busy for now ;-)

Sounds great. I'll do my damnedest to try them all in five days,
and give you my impressions when back in Texas again.
