Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm not going to name the cruise line. And I was on a a cruise and it was quite warm.
We woke to the this the smell of smoke and both of us don't smoke and didn't particularly find that very pleasing to wake up at 6:00 in the morning.
We had basically what 80% of our two weeks on the cruise ship um disturbed with smoking on the balcony.
The compensation that they offered me was 10% which again that wasn't sufficient.

What Happens If You Smoke on a Cruise Balcony? BANNED / OFFLOADED! Is Smoking on Cruise Balconies Allowed? My Nightmare Experience Can you smoke on a cruise ship balcony? I found out the hard way. In this video, I’m sharing my recent "cruise from hell" experience involving a neighbor who refused to follow the cruise ship smoking policy, the lack of enforcement by the cruise line, and the compensation I eventually received. Whether you are a smoker wondering where the designated smoking areas on cruise ships are, or a non-smoker concerned about fire safety on cruise ships, this story covers the reality of how cruise lines handle (or fail to handle) smoking violations.

I’ll walk you through the reporting process, the "empty threats" from guest services, and how I finally got a settlement. In this video, we discuss: The official rules for smoking on cruise ships. How to report a neighbor smoking on their balcony. Why cruise lines rarely "offload" passengers for smoking. How much compensation you can get for a ruined cruise experience. What do you think? Was I too harsh reporting a man with limited mobility, or is the cruise line responsible for enforcing their own safety rules?
