Is there smoking allowed on Celebrity Cruises?

Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom or on any stateroom balcony. This applies to all stateroom categories onboard. Smoking is also not permitted in any dining venue, theater, bar, lounge, hallway, or elevator; on the jogging track; or in most other indoor areas.



On Celebrity Cruises in 2026, smoking is strictly prohibited in almost all areas of the ship, including all staterooms and—crucially—on all stateroom balconies. This policy is rigorously enforced to ensure fire safety and the comfort of other guests; violating it can result in a $250 daily cleaning fee added to your onboard account. Smoking is also banned in all dining venues, theaters, hallways, and elevators. However, there are designated "outdoor smoking areas" typically located on one side of the top decks, which are clearly marked with signage and provided with ashtrays. These designated zones are the only places where cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and e-cigarettes/vapes are permitted. In some casinos, there may be a small designated smoking section, but this is subject to the ship's specific itinerary and local laws. If you are a smoker, it is best to consult the "Daily Celebrity News" or visit Guest Relations to locate the nearest approved zone to avoid any penalties during your voyage.

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.
