CRUISE NEWS - EXCITING NEWS FOR CRUISE SHIP SMOKERS

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses recent policy changes regarding smoking on Carnival cruise ships. He reports that Carnival will allow smoking in the casino starting on Valentine's Day, but with specific restrictions. Passengers are only permitted to smoke if they are actively playing games such as slots, craps, or blackjack. Those who are simply visiting the casino or sitting at the casino bar without gambling are prohibited from smoking. The creator notes that these restrictions were likely implemented due to masking rules associated with the Omicron variant, as smokers must remove their masks to smoke. Additionally, the video addresses a complaint found on John Heald's Facebook page regarding smoking bans during the bunkering or refueling process. The creator shares poll results from his community, revealing that only 10 percent of respondents are smokers. He concludes by discussing the business challenge cruise lines face in balancing the needs of the smoking minority, who are often significant gamblers, with the preferences of the non-smoking majority who wish to avoid second-hand smoke.
