Normal
I guess this is one of those things that changes from cruise to cruise. On our cruise, the area I mentioned was clearly marked as a non-smoking area, and passengers abided. However, the Polo Club Bar, one deck higher, was so smoke-filled that I couldn't even walk though it and I'm usually not bothered by cigarette smoke. Subsequent reviews I've read indicated that the Polo Club Bar was practically smoke-free. I don't get it...Oh -- and to follow up to Linda -- the pasta cafe serves quite a bit more besides pasta. The salads and side dishes looked great. (We didn't eat there, but checked it out the last evening AFTER dinner. Oh well. There's always next time.)
