On many cruise ships, smoking is permitted in the casino and there is sometimes quite a smoky atmosphere. Some cruise lines do have non-smoking areas of the casino though, and Princess Cruises has dedicated non-smoking nights, beginning at 6pm on certain sailings. Should I avoid sunbathing on my cruise while pregnant?

Phillip Armachain, 50, is charged with forced labor and sexual abuse of a minor in Indian Country, crimes that could land him in prison for decades if he is convicted.
The investigation, conducted by the FBI and the Cherokee Indian Police Department, stemmed from information that Armachain had been receiving per capita checks — semiannual payments tribal members receive from casino profits — in the mail as collateral for loans he'd issued to tribal members doing business with him. During 2015, more than 150 enrolled members listed Armachain's address as the delivery address for their per capita check, according to the affidavit from FBI Special Agent Andrew Romagnuolo on which the criminal complaint is based.
While Armachain was known to charge a 100 percent interest rate on loans, the affidavit said, three women came forward to say they had paid their bond fees or loan repayments by having sex with Armachain.
The woman who the affidavit names Victim Number One, or V1, told investigators that in 2016 Armachain had bonded her out of the Swain County Jail in Bryson City in a deal that would require her to pay back double what she owed. Armachain gave V1 a ride back to Cherokee, the affidavit said, during which he talked about paying him for the bond sexually. The two went to Armachain's cabin but didn't have sex there, because Armachain discovered that V1 was pregnant. Instead, Armachain waited for sex until V1 was no longer pregnant.
Armachain bonded V1 out of jail once more, in December 2016, and issued a cash bond for $200 on the same day. Armachain received oral sex in lieu of cash, the affidavit said.
Two more women came forward with similar stories. One, referred to in the affidavit as V2, said that Armachain bonded her out of the Cherokee Indian Jail this spring and said that 'they would work something out' when V2 told him she didn't have money to pay the bond. Armachain took V2 to his residence, where they had sex, the affidavit said.
The woman referred to as V3 said she had taken out both loans and bonds from Armachain and had sex with him multiple times so she wouldn't have to repay him. Casino poland krakow hotel.
'V3 would try to avoid having sexual intercourse with Armachain but told investigators ‘He made me do it,'' the affidavit said.
The affidavit also identified a fourth victim, V4, and she was a minor under 16. V4's mother had taken out loans from Armachain, but Armachain 'would not loan money to the mother unless she brought V4 to pick up the money,' the affidavit said. The mother would wait outside while V4 went in alone to get the money, which Armachain lent at a 100 percent interest rate. While the girl was inside, Armachain would sexually abuse her.
V4's mother would still have to pay the money back. She had her per capita check sent directly to Armachain, who would hold it as collateral. Then he would meet the mother at his business on U.S. 441 and walk to the bank to cash the check, at which point he would get the loan back, plus interest.
'The mother of V4 stated that Armachain would revoke bail bonds if people did not pay him back for loans,' the affidavit said. 'Armachain would also take people's cars for non-repayment. The mother of V4 was told by other women that Armachain would bail women out of jail in return for sex.'
According to the affidavit, the Cherokee Police Department identified more than 10 additional women who Armachain had flirted with after bonding them out of jail.
'The interviews are consistent,' the affidavit said, 'describing Armachain telling them that they are pretty and touching their leg during the conversation.'
'Armachain has a reputation as a ‘pervert' and ‘creepy,'' the affidavit continued. 'Many of the females interviewed expressed fear of being alone with Armachain and displayed emotional pain regarding the extortion of sexual acts to get out of jail or to pay off loans.'
In addition to the interviews, investigators have audio recordings of a summer 2016 encounter between Armachain and a woman called Cooperating Witness Number One, or CW1. CW1 wanted a $200 loan from Armachain, but he wouldn't give it to her because she owed him payments from previous bonds and/or loans. In the recording, he tells her he's been wanting to have sex with her for a long time and 'asked how they were going to work this out.' She didn't have to have sex with him, he said, but otherwise she would have to pay what she owed him. The conversation took place while Armachain attempted to take CW1 to a small cabin at the end of a dead-end road.
While the charges against Armachain are new, discussions of the issues posed by loan sharks and belief that Armachain had been enriching himself off other tribal members aren't new. In November, Tribal Council narrowly passed legislation that Principal Chief Patrick Lambert proposed to institute a zero-interest per capita loan program in tribal government. Applicants pay a $35 fee for each six-month distribution period but beyond that pay nothing to receive up to $500 per month against the upcoming payment.
'This would be an opportunity for someone to be able to get a loan where there's not overburdened interest or having to go through a loan shark situation,' Lambert told Tribal Council during its November 2016 meeting. 'This is already happening. It's just enriching certain individuals in this community.'
Lambert was likely talking about Armachain when he followed his comments with information about one of those 'certain individuals,' though he did not name the person.
'Last per cap we had 120 checks that went to one person,' Lambert said. '$600,000 went to one person last per cap.'
Armachain is in jail pending the outcome of a May 17 detention hearing.
Those are the words she lives by and the advice she gives to her students at Studio Rumba in Whittier.
'If you don't know the dance moves, make them up,' she joked. 'It doesn't matter what you do — you need to keep moving. Life is too short to just quit.'
Huskey's life has moved her from Costa Rica to Cherokee. It's taken her from a steady and stable career with Harrah's Casino to operating her own fitness center for women. Most importantly, life has taken the 37-year-old from an unhappy and unhealthy existence and made her into the happy and healthy woman she is today.
'Having the studio makes me more independent because I can spend time with my son,' Huskey said. 'I'm able to have fun and get in shape while working — not everyone has that opportunity.'
But she says the best thing about her job now is that she gets to help other women accomplish their health goals. She can relate to their struggles because she knows exactly how they feel.
Motivated to move
It wasn't that long ago that Huskey didn't like what she saw in the mirror every day.
'I thought to myself ‘I don't have energy, I'm grumpy all the time, I don't feel like myself' and that's because I wasn't healthy,' she said.
That feeling intensified when she returned home to visit family in Costa Rica. While it's hard to notice a few pounds here and there when you see someone every day, Huskey said her family noticed — and didn't hesitate to let her know.
The reasons for the weight gain were common — pregnancy, poor eating choices and not enough exercise, but she was finally motivated to change her lifestyle so she could set a good example for her child and be able to keep up with him.
'Since moving here (the U.S.) I started eating more — I craved Big Macs when I was pregnant,' she said. 'I gained 10 pounds during my last month of pregnancy alone.'
Zumba — an aerobic workout using Latin dance moves — seemed like a natural fit since she was familiar with Latin dances like Salsa and Rumba.
Zumba classes can be found everywhere now, but that was not the case seven years ago. With only one class being offered in Sylva, Huskey decided to try it out in the comfort of her own home. Within one year, the 5-foot-nothing Huskey went from a size 10 to a size 2.
'I did it one hour a day every day and got hooked,' she said. 'And after about two months, people started noticing.'
Then a few months later, people started joining her at her home to do Zumba — that's when she realized she wanted to do it professionally.
Growing a business
Huskey grew up in Costa Rica and graduated college in 1999 with a degree in journalism. When Harrah's visited Costa Rica to recruit employees for its casino in Cherokee, she jumped at the chance to have an adventure before starting her career. Without knowing any English, she moved to Cherokee. She never thought she would end up living in North Carolina for 14 years working as a casino host, let alone operating her own fitness studio. As her Zumba workouts started showing results, and more people started coming to her at-home classes, she began to think about the possibilities. She decided to become a certified Zumba instructor and started teaching a couple of classes on the side in Cherokee while still working at the casino.
'Once I saw people getting inspired by my story, I wanted to help them more,' she said.
Huskey's passion soon morphed into a career, and Studio Rumba celebrated its four-year anniversary June 6. She steadily added more classes and quickly outgrew a location in Bryson City. She moved it to the old Whittier School, but it was difficult to keep classes going through the cold winter and hot summer without central heating and air.
That's when one of her students, whose husband is the pastor of Cherokee Bible Church, offered to let her rent space in the church. While it is great space and offers a central location for her students, her long-term goal is to find her own place and expand the business.
Huskey also has expanded to teach more than Zumba. The studio now offers 212 small group training, Piloxing and Piloxing knockout classes. The 212 classes help women build strength and endurance using a number of different low-impact exercises. Piloxing is an intense and high-energy combination of boxing and Pilates that helps women reduce fat, increase metabolism and build endurance.
With the help of two other instructors, the studio offers 13 classes a week. Each night class usually has 25 to 45 people.
Empowering women
Classes were open to men and women when Studio Rumba started, but Zumba is a female dominated workout and very few men ever showed up for classes. So when Huskey added the 212 and Piloxing classes two years ago, she made it into a women's fitness center.
'I want the women to feel comfortable and free,' she said. 'I want them to find a place to have support.'
The ages of the women taking Huskey's 8:30 a.m. 212 training class last week ranged from 16 to early 70s. Some of them have been coming to the studio for four years while others only recently started their fitness journey, but all of them agreed that Huskey gave them the motivation and support they all needed.
Kathryn Ossoff said she has lost 40 pounds since starting Zumba a year ago and 212 a couple of months ago.

'Zumba really helps clear the cobwebs out of your brain through dancing,' she said. 'When I first started coming I expected everyone to have flat tummies and be wearing mid drifts, but I was surprised to find people who looked like me.'
Kim Smith enjoys the studio because she can bring her young children along with her to class.
'Zumba is good for your soul — it's a stress reliever,' she said. 'And Sussy always makes me smile.'
Huskey said she started a Facebook group for her students to keep them motivated, to celebrate their accomplishments and to remind them of upcoming classes. They celebrate each other's birthdays, weight loss and other milestones. For Huskey, her exercise programs are not just about losing weight — it's about living a healthy lifestyle. She is thrilled to see her students stop having to take medication for high blood pressure or depression because of the progress they're making in her class.
'I don't want skinny girls — I want healthy women,' she said. 'Having this studio has changed me because I feel responsible for many people now — I want them to be happy.'
