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.
Duty exemption can only be given to a product that has never been sold with regular goods to locals. To make the product duty-free, buyers must soon exit the country where they purchased the products. That's why legal duty-free shopping is allowed in airports and on cruise ships.
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.
Can you bring cigarettes on a cruise? Yes, you can, along with e-cigarettes, also known as vapes. Per the rules, you can bring cigarettes onboard with you. Whether or not you are flying to your embarkation port, we recommend that you adhere to TSA rules when deciding where and how to pack your cigarettes and lighters.
You can also buy cigarettes in port or by the carton, duty-free, in many ships' onboard shops. However, if you want to smoke while you are sailing, you should bring your own, as some vessels hold duty-free items purchased onboard until disembarkation.

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.
Most public areas on board, as well as guest suites, are smoke-free. Guests must refrain from smoking anywhere inside the ship, including in guest suites, on verandas and balconies.
You Can Shop Duty-Free On ArrivalSome countries allow arriving international travelers to use duty-free shops before leaving the airport, but the U.S. does not. Returning U.S. travelers can buy duty-free only at foreign departure airports.
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.
Well, in most cases the first time you get caught you will get away with a warning. But any further offences could mean that you get kicked off the ship. This is a pretty serious repercussion.
Smoking/vaping is not permitted inside any stateroom and any stateroom balcony. If a guest is in violation of this stateroom policy, a cleaning fee of $250 USD will be applied to their SeaPass® account and may be subject to further actions*.
If you go over your allowances you must declare all your goods and pay tax and duty on all the goods in that category. For example, if you bring in 200 cigarettes and 50 cigars, you must pay tax and duty on both the cigarettes and the cigars because you have gone over your allowance in the tobacco category.
