Do Royal Caribbean ships sell cigarettes?

Yes, there are sales happening daily onboard our ships that include a wide variety of merchandise. Please check the Cruise Compass daily for details. What stores can I expect to find onboard? All ships have Fine Jewelry and Watch, Liquor/Tobacco, Perfume & Cosmetics, Royal Caribbean Logo, and designer handbag stores.



Yes, Royal Caribbean ships sell cigarettes, but with specific restrictions on where and when you can buy and use them. You can typically find a variety of cigarette brands in the onboard duty-free shops. However, due to customs regulations, cigarettes purchased in the duty-free shop are intended for consumption off the ship; the shop will often hold your carton until the final morning of the cruise, or they may allow you to take them immediately but at a slightly higher price that includes "consumption" taxes. If you need a single pack to smoke during the cruise, they are usually available for purchase at select bars, typically those near the designated smoking areas or inside the Casino. Be prepared to pay a premium price for these individual packs compared to land-based prices. Smoking itself is strictly prohibited in all staterooms and on balconies; it is only allowed in clearly marked outdoor deck areas and in designated sections of the Casino while actively gambling.

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.

What is Royal Caribbean's smoking policy? For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, our ships are designated as non-smoking; however, we recognize that some of our guests do smoke. To provide an onboard environment that meets all needs, we've designated certain areas of the ship as smoking areas.

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.

But here in this list, we will just name a few. Popular duty-free items that can be bought on cruises are liquor, cigarettes, and jewelry.

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.

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*.

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.

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.

Just like the security screening at an airport, we also screen all luggage our guests bring onboard to ensure everyone's safety. If there is an item in your luggage that is prohibited or is believed to be prohibited, your bag will be taken to a screening location and will be inspected by our Security Team onboard.

Possession of marijuana is illegal under federal law, and cruise lines have to follow federal regulations. As a result, they don't allow any type of marijuana products on board.

Leaving Your Balcony Door Open Can Make a Mess You 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.

MORE DETAILS

To address these concerns, cruise lines typically have surveillance cameras installed in public areas such as hallways, stairwells, and common spaces, but not on individual balconies.

When there is no connection or ships cannot connect, they have to use fossil fuels to generate the electricity needed to power their onboard systems. This produces exhaust out of the ship's stack.
