In 2026, Resorts World Cruises maintains a strict smoking policy to ensure the comfort and safety of all guests. Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes and vapes, is strictly prohibited in all indoor public spaces, restaurants, theaters, hallways, and elevators. Most importantly, smoking is forbidden inside all staterooms and on private stateroom balconies; violations typically result in a significant cleaning fee (often $250 or more) and potential disembarkation. Smoking is only permitted in clearly designated outdoor areas on specific decks, which are equipped with ashtrays and proper ventilation. On most ships, these areas are limited to a small portion of the open pool deck or a dedicated cigar lounge if the vessel has one. Guests are advised to check the "Daily Programme" or look for the "Designated Smoking Area" signage on board to identify these zones. This policy is aligned with international maritime fire safety regulations and the general industry shift toward smoke-free cruising environments.
