Cruise girl: Thanks for the warning. The Glory is the same floor plan as the Conquest and that ship really holds the smoke. I was so hoping that the new ships would actually have a ventilation system, but they obviously don't. We had only 2 people smoking in the piano bar and the smoke haze in there was so thick...it looked like a Phillip Morris Convention. Shame on Carnival for not addressing this issue more seriously in the design of their new ships. If Carnival did there job, then smokers and non smokers could co-exist in peace. It seems the only thing Carnival understands is the bottom line. If the approz 60% of cruisers that don't smoke would stop cruising and tell Carnival why....proper ventilation would magically appear!!! There is enough technology out there today to address this issue in the bars, promenade and casinos. Something as simple as building tables, in the smoking areas ,with draw ashtrays and air purifiers in the pedestal of the table. And walling off a smoking section of the casino in plexiglass with concentrated draw vents in that area (oddly, smokers don't like the smoky haze either). If they put the thought, time and money into making all their ships user friendly to nonsmokers that they put into building the Paradise....we would not have to worry about "problem smokers".
