When cruising with Tui, guests are allowed to smoke on their balconies. There are also external and internal smoking areas on all ships. All Tui's ships are called Mein Schiff – with a number after them. This literally means “My Ship” in German.

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.
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 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.
Leaving Your Balcony Door Open Can Make a MessYou might want to prop open your balcony door as you sail, but cruise lines aren't so keen on the idea. For starters, the warm air coming in will cause your cabin's air-conditioning to work harder (unless you turn it down), wasting energy on the ship.
Matches and normal lighteners are allowed onboard. However, torch lighters and novelty lighters that look like guns are not allowed onboard. Torch lighters emit a powerful concentrated flame, and therefore are prohibited.
Your ship will have a duty-free shop where you can buy all sorts of goodies like alcohol and cigarettes or perfume and expensive watches. That's just the start. When you hit the port, you're going to see more duty-free shopping. In fact, some ports even make passengers walk through the shops when you exit the ship.
Cruise ship rules about vaping are the same as those for cigarettes. There are designated smoking areas where passengers can use their vape pens, and they vary depending on the cruise line. Let's keep things simple.
Vaping is not permitted in staterooms, on stateroom balconies, in public rooms and Churchill's Cigar Lounge (which is solely for cigar & pipe smoking). Vaping is permitted in designated areas on open decks.
Casual, meanwhile, speaks for itself – we're talking tops and shorts or a sundress. Then you've got smart, which is when you'll need to dress up a little bit. Shirts, tailored shorts and smart trainers get the go ahead, but we ask that you leave sportswear, flip-flops and non-tailored shorts in your cabin.
You can smoke on your balcony and it's not really a problem when in bars and restaurants, as you can walk onto the pavement and smoke there (there are a few that will now allow smoking on the terrace).
As it stands and the moment, you will not able to get off the ship in port unless you are on a Marella organised Shore excursion. Yes we know it's a way for TUI to make some much needed money back, but it's to identify ship bubbles.

Fine or surcharge: On many cruise lines, you may be subject to a fine or a surcharge if they catch you sneaking alcohol onto the ship. Confiscation of alcohol: No matter what other disciplinary action the cruise line takes, you can expect them to confiscate your alcohol as soon as they find it.
