Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival only allows public smoking in its ships' dance clubs, designated casino/casino bar areas, and designated exterior open deck areas (as well as the jazz clubs on 13 different vessels). Starting Dec. 1,2011 Carnival will prohibit smoking in all cabins (though passengers may still smoke on balconies).

Carnival Paradise (1-28-11)
Smoking areas are the Open Deck Starboard side, Rotterdam Bar, port side and America Bar.  We remind you that as a courtesy to your fellow guests, please refrain from smoking in the lobbies and corridors.  Cigar smoking is only allowed in Rotterdam Bar.

[From CruiseCritic.com] Carnival is one of the world's most innovative cruise lines, and lists among its firsts that it was the only major cruise line to build and operate a completely smoke-free cruise ship, Paradise. After nearly six years of butt-free sailings, the ship, now deployed in California, has gone to a "limited-smoking" policy where guests can light up in the casino and just a couple of bars and lounges, but not in cabins nor most public spaces, even outside -- except for midship-only on the Lido deck.]

Most areas of the ships are non-smoking.

Crystal Cruises kindly asks its guests to observe the non-smoking areas, which have been created for the comfort and enjoyment of everyone on board.

Oceania Cruises
As the safety and security of our guests, staff and ship is our primary concern, we would like to take a moment to familiarize you with Oceania Cruises’ Smoking Policy and kindly request your cooperation in enforcing it.

For the safety of all guests and staff onboard, Designated Smoking Areas are available on Deck 9, the forward starboard corner of the Pool Deck, and Deck 10, in the aft, port corner of Horizons. These areas are comfortably furnished and conveniently located near food and beverage service areas.

Smoking is expressly forbidden in all Staterooms and Suites, on verandas or in any areas of the ship other than officially Designated Smoking Areas. Smoking in your stateroom or suite or on your veranda represents a serious fire and safety hazard to you, your fellow guests and the ship’s staff. Guests choosing to disregard this policy will be disembarked at the next port of call and may also be subject to monetary penalties that will be imposed to cover the costs associated with any damage to and the required cleaning of furnishings, verandas and surrounding deck and accommodation areas.

All areas other than those specified as Designated Smoking Areas will remain smoke-free. This includes all guest suites and staterooms, verandas, restaurants, public areas, the Casino, and all other areas of the ship. Cigar and Pipe smoking is only permitted on the starboard forward section of the outdoor Pool Deck.

Princess Cruise Lines
Effective January 15, 2011, smoking will no longer be allowed in passenger staterooms or balconies onboard the Princess fleet.
See full story...

Keeping the comfort of our passengers a priority, and in consideration of consumer studies which show smokers are a small minority of passengers, Princess has implemented the following smoking policy:

Designated Smoking Area
Clearly marked "Designated Smoking Areas" are available onboard and include a sufficient number of ashtrays that are emptied regularly. Generally, these areas include cigar lounges, a section of the nightclub and casino, as well as a portion of the open decks. As a safety precaution, passengers are reminded to properly dispose of cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco, which are never to be thrown overboard as this may be sucked back into the ship and cause fires.

Stateroom Smoking Policy Update
For all voyages departing after January 15th, 2012, Princess Cruises will prohibit smoking in passenger staterooms and balconies. This policy change reflects the preferences of a vast majority of our passengers who value having their primary living space (both stateroom and balcony) smoke-free. As balconies are a hallmark of Princess Cruises, we believe it is important to keep this peaceful space clear of smoke. Violations to this policy will result in a $250 fine for each occurrence, which will be charged to the passenger’s stateroom account. Keeping with the global trend toward more restrictive smoking policies and honoring the wishes of our passengers, we feel this change will enhance our onboard experience and do more to help our passengers escape completely.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, smoking is prohibited onboard most areas of our ships. However, to provide an onboard environment that also satisfies smokers, we have special designated smoking areas in many of our lounges and on all open-air decks. On Alaska Cruisetours, smoking is not permitted on motorcoaches or inside traincars. On Canadian Rockies Cruisetours, smoking is not permitted on motorcoaches or anywhere on the traincars.

Seabourn Cruise Lines
For the comfort and convenience of all guests, we ask guests to refrain from smoking:

• In the Restaurant, Veranda Café and Restaurant “2” (inside and outside)
• In the main show Lounge during performances and lectures.
• On the starboard side (right side facing forward) in the Observation Lounge, The Club and the main show lounge.
• In the ship’s elevators.

In addition, we ask that guests refrain from smoking pipes and cigars anywhere inside the ship, including in guest suites. After dinner, an area of the Sky Bar is set aside for this pastime.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises
While we will always give smokers a warm welcome on our ships, we also recognize the need to restrict where smoking is permitted so as not to cause discomfort to, or provide a health or safety hazard for, the majority of our guests who do not smoke.

Cigarette smoking is not permitted in any enclosed dining areas, whether it be the ships' main dining rooms or the alternate dining venues. Cigarette smoking is only permitted in designated areas of the outdoor Pool Grills. Other than open deck areas, the following are the only public rooms or areas where cigarette smoking is now permitted:

Seven Seas Voyager:  Connoisseur Club, Casino, Voyager Lounge (designated area), Horizon Lounge (outside area only), Pool Bar
Seven Seas Mariner:  Connoisseur Club, Casino, Horizon Lounge (outside area only), Stars Nightclub (designated area), Pool Bar
Seven Seas Navigator:  Connoisseur Club, Casino, Stars Lounge (designated area), Galileo's (outside area only), Pool Bar
Paul Gauguin:  La Palette (outside area only), Le Grill (designated area), Pool Bar
Explorer II:  Smoking Lounge on Bridge Deck

Pipe smoking is only permitted in the Connoisseur Club aboard Seven Seas Voyager, Mariner and Navigator.  Pipe smoking in open deck areas is considered an extreme fire hazard and is not permitted. Cigar smoking is only permitted in the Connoisseur Club aboard Seven Seas Voyager, Mariner and Navigator, and in the designated area of the Pool Bar area aboard all four vessels.

Update as of July 5, 2007:
In light of continuing legislative changes in smoking policies around the world as well as the comfort, health and safety of our guests and crew, both in terms of the proven dangers of second hand smoke and the fire hazard that smoking presents, Regent Seven Seas Cruises will be changing our policy of smoking in staterooms, suites and on private balconies. Not only does smoking present a fire hazard, but it is also an inconvenience to other guests as the smoke, or its odor, invades surrounding suites, balconies and public areas, creating discomfort for the guests in these areas.  Smoking will therefore be prohibited in all staterooms, suites and balconies fleet-wide. 

This change will take effect on the following dates:

Seven Seas Voyager:  December 21, 2007
Seven Seas Mariner:  December 21, 2007
Seven Seas Navigator:  December 27, 2007
Paul Gauguin:  December 29, 2007

Explorer II:  January 21 and February 1, 2008
(The Regent smoking policy applies to full-ship charters of Explorer II.)
