Smoking is permitted outside on each side towards the rear of the ship, in the most windswept and dreary areas possible. At the end of the boat, there is a comfortable sunny area sheltered from the wind, and smoking is banned there!<br /><br />Their announcements always irritate me as well: "In the interest of the safety and comfort of ALL our passengers, smoking is not permitted inside the vessel" (the announcer places a special emphasis on the word "all"). <br /><br />The "safety" part is of course drivel (how many cross channel ferry disasters triggered by a cigarette indoors can you think of?), while the "comfort" part is simply insulting - "all our passengers" includes smokers, and it is not remotely bloody comfortable to have to go out to those horrible little areas when you want a cigarette.<br /><br />As to why they feel they have to treat their paying customers so badly, I can only assume that the people in charge believe all the propaganda and think that denormalising smokers is a hugely popular and worthy measure to take.Rick Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430921577426368890.post-12223862857935769282011-12-11T01:01:57.294+00:002011-12-11T01:01:57.294+00:00anon@20:38
