Kristin, with all due respect to Betty & David IMO this complaint about smoking in Compass Rose is a non-issue. My husband quit smoking a year ago, just before we went on the World Cruise. He too was a bit concerned how he would do knowing there was a small smoking section in C.R. Well, it never was an issue whatsoever. The ventilation is so good and the dining room is so large that he never once even got a whiff. Most non-smokers don't even realize that this small smoking section exists. I'm sure you'll be fine.
