Smoking at Sea
A very good example of a topic that will always have great divisions on opinion is smoking. Here at cruise.co.uk I often get asked about smoking policys on ships by passenger’s interested in cruising. This can be from anti-smokers making sure that they don’t have to breath the smoke, or from smokers making sure that they won’t have to go without.
I have found that this sometimes can be a large contributing factor for passengers thinking about booking a cruise from both sides of the smoking perspective.
I personally choose to smoke but I have to say that I understand that it’s a bad habit and I certainly wouldn’t want to cause anybody any inconvenience with my smoking habits.
Smoking laws have become more and more strict here at home and it should feel quite normal now for smokers not being able to smoke in any public enclosed areas so why some people feel they should be entitled to do this when they are on a cruise ship is beyond me.
I guess the only thing that I need personally is some sort of open space where I can go and have a smoke at my leisure and not cause anyone any inconvenience.
I have listed details of different cruise line’s smoking policys below to help you deceide whether it would suit your needs whether you are a smoker or non smoker.

Thanks for this we find it so difficult to find smoking info when looking at cruises and this has put us of booking cruises, how up to date is this info, we are both smokers who feel we should have a right to smoke some where, participially on a balcony if we go to the extra expense of paying the extortionate prices they charge for them, saying that we understand that some people dislike smoking and agree with having designated areas for smoking, but feel that in the event of bad weather there should be somewhere inside smoking is allowed, if these areas are made clear i don’t see a problem as people are free to choose where they go
