Normal
I too was on the Glory the week of 9-20 thru 9-27. I can't really pinpoint the cause of the smoke problem but it does seem to be worse on this ship. On deck three which is the main lobby area, the starboard side ( right side ) is smoking. Across the lobby is non smoking. Unfortunately the smoke doesn't know the difference and it seemed to me that the whole area was just a thin blue haze of smoke.Most, if not all of the ships I have been on has the starboard ( right ) side for smoking and the port ( left ) side is non smoking. There seemed to be a lot of folks on the Glory who didn't know this or either didn't care, lighting up where and when the urge hit them.There is always the old argument " I have a right to smoke" or " I have a right not to breathe someone elses smoke "-- I wish I had the answer but unfortiunately I don't.I think to tell a non smoker to cruise on the Paradise because it's a non smoking ship is a little much. Don't the non smokers have a right to enjoy ships other than the Paradise? It could get pretty boring to cruise the Paradise everytime one wanted to go on a cruise. I think if everyone just tried to be respectful of each other it could help a lot.As a non smoker ( I smoked for many years but quit 22 years ago so I know both side of the story very, very well ) if I went to the smokers side I would have no room to complain about the smoke. If I were a smoker I would be respectful enough not to go into a non smoking area and fire up. If I did and someone mentioned to me that it was non smoking, I would have no grounds to get mad. Respect-- for each other. It sure wouldn't hurt.
