Tougher smoking ban in British and American ships.
Many British cruse lines now prohibit smoking anywhere inside the ship
even in a private cabin or at the casino,
and some are making it illegal to smoke in a balcony. These rules are seemed
to be less severe in the most
American cruise lines.However, they are gradually moving to tougher regulations.
A smoking room in many ships
is now gradually disappearing.
Total smoking ban on anywhere inside of ships.
U.k.-based P&O Cruises are the latest major player in the shipping
market to bring in rules restricting smoking
to just outside areas on all their ships. They aim to ban smoking in cabins
and casinos by May 2010 will bring
an end to smoking indoors on their boats.
Three of their vessels have already carried a strict no-smoking policy
inside, after the UK banned smoking in
public places just over two years ago. The three ships that will have a
proposed ban in place by 2010 will be
Aurora, Oriana and Arcadia. Smoking will be allowed on cabin balconies
and designated open decks but there
will be a strict ban on anywhere inside. Anyone caught flouting the law
will be punished accordingly.
Some other cruise line companies have even banned smoking on cabin balconies
and restricted further where
passengers can have a puff, but they have not expected to impose a complete
ban just yet. "Since Britain went
to smoke free in July 2007,$B!!(BBritish public has become accustomed to be
in a smoke-free environment. Seventy-six
per cent of the general public support the ban. We hope that becoming smoke
free will give all our passengers,
especially children, a cleaner and more pleasant environment in which to
enjoy their holiday on board." said
Nigel Esdale, the managing director of P&O Cruises.

Carnival Cruise Lines To Ban Smoking on Cruise Ship Balconies
Starting the fall 2014, cigarette smokers will no longer be able to light
up on their balconies on all Carnival Cruise
Lines ships. Effective October, 2014, the cruise line will ban all smoking
on cabin balconies; the line already
prohibits smoking in cabins. According to company spokesman Vance Gulliksen,
the change to the line's smoking
policy is in response to "the preferences of a majority of our guests."
Additionally, the updated policy is consistent
with most other major cruise lines' smoking policies. With this change,
Norwegian Cruise Line and Holland America
Line become the only mainstream cruise lines to allow smoking on cabin
balconies. Smoking will continue to be
allowed in designated open deck areas, as well as night clubs and certain
areas within the casino. Passengers
who are caught smoking in their cabins or on their balconies will be assessed
a $250 cleaning and refreshing fee.
