Filed Under Cruises | Leave a Comment
Royal Caribbean Cruise line has announced that they will be implementing new restrictions on smoking for passengers travelling on board their cruise ships.
The change in policy bans on smoking inside all cabins, although smoking will still be permitted on private balconies. In addition, a few no-smoking areas have been declared, mostly in certain public parts of its ships. Smoking continues to be allowed in most bars and lounges.
A few other smaller upscale cruise lines have already banned smoking throughout most of their ships, including cabins and balconies, and allow it only in a few well-aerated designated outdoor locations. However, most other larger mass-market cruise lines continue to allow smoking in most locations outside of dining rooms and the main show lounge.

A typical week long cruise during the peak season in August, on board the 382-passenger Silver Shadow, sailing out of Copenhagen presently costs $890 per person a day, for what is merely for the lowest category suite, a 287-square-foot haven furnished with a marble bathroom, walk-in closet and private verandah.
Other cruise destinations which can cost top dollar include cruises out of Dubai, and those sailing to the Antarctica.
