E-cigarettes can be smoked in the casino and adjoining bar areas on their ships, as well as designated smoking areas on deck. Onboard MSC, smoking including e-cigarettes is not permitted in its cabins, on its balconies or anywhere else unless clearly indicated with the appropriate signage. Smoking in areas where it not permitted is subject to a cleaning fee, and repeated offences can lead to your disembarkation.
You are permitted to smoke in the designated open-deck areas, cigar bars, smoking lounges and the casino, but only if you are playing.

Regent Seven Seas intend yet again to tighten its smoking rules. On Regent's ships, cruisers can still light up where they're likely to spend money, in the casino and in designated sections of bars. Cunard, on the other hand, have not banned smoking entirely, they have an indoor smoking area, it's called Churchills Cigar Lounge and boasts 11 seats Yes, you read that correctly, 11 seats for the smoking passengers on QM2.
The war against smokers is never ending. For them, residual smoke left in a cabin from last week's Pall Malls is as strong as the cloud over Sartre's table at Les Deux Magots.
These people hate smoke. Their ideal environment is like a microprocessor lab -- all clean surfaces, white coats, and HEPA filters. If that sounds like you, you'll want to book with one of the cruise lines that prohibit smoking in all their cabins, fleetwide, and discourage it elsewhere on board too. Among the mainstream lines, the best for non-smokers are Azamara Cruises the new exploratory sub-brand of Celebrity Cruises and Oceania Cruises , each of which bans smoking in all cabins and all but two small public areas aboard each ship.
The runner-up is Disney Cruise Line , which also limits smoking to two public rooms as well as on deck and on your private cabin balcony. The final mainstream standout on the non-smoking front is Royal Caribbean , which, beginning in January, will ban smoking from all cabins in its ship fleet.
Smoking will still be allowed in designated areas of the ships' bars and lounges, on cabin balconies, and in some areas of the outside decks. Honorable mention goes to Norwegian Cruise Line , which allows smoking in cabins but prohibits it in most public areas -- including most of its ships' bars. Among the small luxury lines, SeaDream Yacht Club is the best, prohibiting smoking everywhere except certain outdoor decks.
Beginning in December, Regent Seven Seas will also ban smoking from cabins on its mid-size luxe ships. Among the sailing-ship lines, Windstar , Star Clippers , and Windjammer Barefoot Cruises all prohibit smoking in cabins. Windjammer allows it out on deck only, though that's also where most passengers spend their days.
Windstar and Star Clippers allow smoking only in designated areas of one or two public lounges and bars, and outdoors. Small-ship lines Lindblad Expeditions and Cruise West and old-timey riverboat line Majestic America ban smoking everywhere except in designated areas of the outside decks. Azamara Cruises www.

Carnival Cruise Lines www. Unless otherwise indicated, smoking is permitted in cabins, cabin balconies, casinos, dance clubs, piano bars, cigar bars on the ships that have them , certain other live-music venues, and in designated areas of the open decks.
Trivia: Carnival was the only cruise line to ever attempt operation of an entirely smoke-free megaship. In , though, the line began allowing smoking on the ship. So what happened? Seems the ship's typical passengers not only refrained from smoking but drank a whole lot less too, depriving Carnival of onboard revenue.
Guess virtue doesn't pay the bills. Celebrity Cruises www. Smoking is not permitted in the dining rooms, theater, cinema, conference center, elevators, or any public areas on the starboard side of the ship either indoors or outdoors.
On qe2, various spaces allowed smoking but I don't recall it spoiling my enjoyment of those spaces at all. Passionate about QE2's service life for 37 years and creator of this website. Worked in IT for 27 years and created my personal QE2 website in They did the same to me in the Churchill's Never happened on the other queens.
Tiny spots at the back, and that's it. Always a contentious one that. While on a recent voyage on QV that included an overnight in Istanbul, we were bunkering for some 12hrs with the fuel barges 2 of , berthed directly beneath my stateroom.
I couldn't smoke on my balcony and the fact this was situated on the starboard side meant I couldn't even go out on the open decks so Churchills was the only available option. From my stateroom situated way down aft, I briefly toyed with the idea of venturing ashore, which would have been slightly closer in comparison but instead headed for said lounge, by now packed out with similarly frustrated souls in desperate need of a fix.
Thankfully no such restrictions applied to cigarette smokers on QV as has been reported from QM2, not that I believe anyone would have taken any notice that evening mind you.
