I have been checking the cruise boards almost everyday for info coming back from Alaska cruisers. One topic has caught my attention and I want to mention it now, because on embarkation day, things are going pretty fast and you might need to know this ahead of time.
I think for most of you, Donna at ABC's ordered NON smoking staterooms. You will see that on your paperwork from NCL. However, that being said, NCL seems to have a policy of allowing smoking in the staterooms of cigarettes - but not pipes or cigars. I think this is a nod to the European clientele which still smokes - more so than in the US.
So there is a chance you might open the door to your stateroom and smell left over smoke, which I personally find very offensive. The good news from this is you should immediately go to the Purser's Desk in the Atrium (you will find this in the center of the ship) and ask for a deep cleaning of your room. This takes awhile and may include removal and replacement of your draperies / window coverings. You may have to ask for a change of bedding as well as new pillows if the smell is strong.
The point I want to make clear is that you DO NOT have to condemn yourself to 7 days of smelling smoke in your room. Oh - the cleaning is of course free to you, and has to meet your nose test and approval.
