I'm sorry, but I have to take issue with David and Betty re the smoking on RSSC ships. I firmly agree with Marcie that second hand smoke is not an issue in the Compass Rose dining room aboard any RSSC ship. The only place where it might be an issue is in the casinos. I am always amazed that folks who live in a smog basin like most of CA are the first and most vocal of those complaining about smoking. I guarantee you that the smog will do you in long before second hand smoke will. If you want a non-smoking ship, then go with Oceania. If RSSC changes their smoking policy, we'll stop cruising with them. 'nuff said!
