I agree Shannon and Kathy...
We cruised on the Triumph, and I keep calling it the "World's Largest Floating Ashtray". People would crowd around the entrances to the dining halls and theatre, and 90% would be puffing away, with the smoke hanging 2 feet off the ceiling. Forget about going into the bars, dance clubs, or the casino.
As a severe asthmatic, this truly ruined my cruise. As a matter of fact, we had a balcony cabin, and the people upwind of us had four smokers in their cabin. On our first night, we thought we'd leave open our door to the balcony and listen to the ocean. Well, we both woke up at 6 AM with sore throats because the people upwind sat on their balcony and smoked all night. I was sick the rest of the cruise.
That settled it for us, and we decided that until more non-smoking ships are built, we'll always cruise the Carn. Paradise, because even though it's smaller and not as "flashy", we think it's worth our health.
We'll cruise the Paradise in 25 days! Can't wait!
