Used to be (lots of things) on the Norway, that there were actually
smoking and non-smoking cabins. Don't know whether other ships/lines
have this.

On the other hand, as I have said many times, I would be perfectly happy
to have smoking ships and non-smoking ships.

I have not suggested we cruise on separate ships, and I don't understand
why
you feel smokers and non-smokers should have their own ships, except that
you
know that the non-smokers are the likely losers, but the availability of a
good
portion of non-smoking cabins on a mainstream ship would be fair, don't
you
think?


NCL tried that several years ago. It didn't seem to work. Every time I
asked for a non-smoking cabin, there were none availabe on the sailings I
was looking at... but there were hundreds of smoking cabins available. To
get put into one of the smoking cabins was pretty disgusting.

That sounds to me like they simply needed to increase the number of non-smoking
cabins by "hundreds". What was the ratio of smoking cabins to non-smoking?

When at first you don't succeed, try, try again. :-)

On the Norway it was half the cabins on the ship. One side smoking, the
other side non.

By the time I replied to Tom that NCL needed to increase the number of cabins
by "hundreds", I remembered that the Norwegian Sky was indeed half and half.
More than half the population does not smoke, so "hundreds" more cabins would
be a good guess.

We almost booked the Sky, but I couldn't get my mind around the thought of
cruising NCL just to have a smokefree cabin. I wanted to put my money where my
mouth was regarding having a smokefree cabin, but my mouth also wanted finer
food. ;-)

Smoke em, if you got em!

Port Side vs. Starboard for the whole ship.

I was honestly impressed with the food on Norwegian Dawn last year. It was
my 3rd NCL sailing. And had by far the best food of the 3.
