I just do not know how to say what I want. Firs of all, I am a smoker, but do most of it either in Connoseur Lounge or my balcony. I love Regent but my favorite parts of the day is coffee and a cigarette on the balcony in the morning and then right before I go to bed to sit out and have a cigarette and watch the stars. I am sorry Regent has decided what it did. I also think it is a shame that one fire out of how many cruises per year is responsible. I have read this board and cc on this topic, and until Regent changed their policy, I had seen maybe 6 posts that people on Regent had a problem with smokers. Now they are coming out of the woodwork with complaints. I find that odd.
I am very happy that I got to meet some of the great people of LCT this year on TAP, but I am afraid that with the single supplement, rising fares, and no smoking, I will learn to live not as great a lifestyle on another line.
