Cruise IQ - Where can you smoke onboard a cruise ship?
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Chris Cardona addresses the evolving smoking restrictions found on modern cruise ships. He explains that most cruise lines have implemented stricter policies over recent years. According to the video, smoking is generally prohibited inside guest staterooms and on private balconies. Most indoor public spaces are also designated as smoke-free, though the casino often remains an exception. For passengers who wish to smoke, designated outdoor areas are typically provided, often located on a specific side or section of the vessel. Cigar enthusiasts may find opportunities to smoke in these outdoor areas or within specific cigar lounges on certain ships. The creator warns that attempting to smoke in non-designated areas can result in significant cleaning fees, which may exceed 200 dollars. Additionally, the video notes that electronic cigarettes are usually subject to the same rules and restrictions as traditional tobacco products. Viewers are encouraged to consult their specific cruise line for the most accurate and updated information regarding their voyage.
