Can smokers go on cruises?

All cruise ships allow smoking in certain areas, which are typically designated in outdoor smoking zones and sometimes in casinos, nightclubs, cigar lounges and cabin balconies (depending on the cruise line). The rest of the ship is firmly nonsmoking, however, and that includes all staterooms, restaurants and theaters.

For these reasons, almost every cruise ship has banned smoking on balconies. If just love smoking on your balcony then I suggest that you take a trip with Costa Cruises as they are the only major cruise line which allows this practice. If you are on any other ship I wouldn't recommend that you try and get away with it.

If you are caught smoking outside in a nonsmoking area, you will be asked to move to a smoking area. If caught smoking in your cabin or cabin balcony, you will be told to stop and charged a cleaning fee (typically $200 to $250). If you continue to break the rule, you may be forcibly removed from the ship.

The rules call for the allowance for enough goods for “personal use.” So if you're trying to lug home cases of booze, then you likely won't get past customs (they'll think you're trying to import it for sale). For tobacco, the limit (except in a few special cases) is 200 cigarettes or 100 cigars.

To sum up, you can bring a vape on a cruise. However, there are strict guidelines on where to smoke once on the ship. Vapes are treated identically to cigarettes on a cruise ship, so it's essential to follow the rules to avoid getting your vape confiscated or facing fines. Find out more about us here.

Royal Caribbean's ships are technically designated as non-smoking. You cannot smoke on the pool deck, outside decks, pool bar, cabin balconies, or any public area. However, to accommodate the guests who smoke, they have designated outdoor areas indicated with signage that even comes with ashtrays for proper disposal.

Your balcony is somewhat private, but gaps around the dividers mean others might get an eyeful if you're not careful. As well, sounds can travel. At first glance, there's no one around to see you if you end up getting down on the balcony. But don't think that it is ultra-private.

It depends on the hotel's policy. Some will allow it. But, in my experience, most hotels do not allow smoking on a balcony if they have a non-smoking policy in the room. The opposite is typically true if you booked a “smoking” room.

You can take as many cigarettes on a cruise as you like, although they can be purchased on board and in ports of call. Sometimes, you can get them duty-free, so they are cheaper to buy once on the ship.
