i know it is no longer allowed.

 

 

Do people still do it.

 

YES

 

 

What happens if caught? Do they give a warning, or straight to a fine.

 

 

I believe a warning first and then to a fine. I think if they tried to deny it and was caught, it could go straight to a fine but I believe a fine is rare unfortunately .

Yes, inconsiderate people violating the ship's safety rules smoke on their balconies. And we call security immediately report smokers.

Yes they do it.. In the casino its different because it's allowed and it's expected..but when I'm sitting on my balcony trying to breath in the fresh air, I don't want to smell it. Our neighbors last year on the Epic smoked non stop on their balcony. He was caught. The cabin steward smelled it I guess, went to the door and the guy answered the door with a cigarette in his hand.. My son was heading back to the room so he heard some of what was going on. I guess the passenger was told that if he was caught again they would be fined and possibly kicked off at the next port(not sure if they would do that?)

Nobody in their right mind could possibly be offended by an e-cig on a balcony. You can smoke one in a windowless enclosed room and not smell it. It's impossible to know someone is even smoking one unless you stick your head around the divider and look. MAYBE if you have one of those gross cotton candy flavored e-cig juices or something like that it could be a problem, but if you use scentless there really is no issue.

 

so if they allow the e-cigs.. they allow the gross cotton candy or something like that so its just easier to just follow the rules on the ship

This is 2018, where people get offended by what color shoelaces you're wearing lol. I'm with you, there's no flame and no smell, therefore no fire hazard and no offensive odor. have at it.

I think using an e-cig on balconies is fine, because there's no smell and the vapor disperses before it can even reach the dividers of adjoining balconies.

 

Smoking actual cigs is horribly inconsiderate, just like playing music on your balcony. Once I was stuck next to a trash couple that did both.

e-cigarettes are specifically named and treated the same as tobacco cigarettes, pipes, cigars, etc.... not allowed in stateroom or bacony

What about when they explode in peoples faces and pockets then? And how do you stop people from bringing the bad ones that explode versus what are considered safe ones? My daughter uses one, so I am not against them. I am, however, against an explosion and/or fire on the cruise ship that I am on.

Well if that happens then it'll be easy to spot the vaper. :D

What, you want them banned from the ship entirely? Your smartphone can blow up, too.

Let's be real. This is because of tobacco industry lobbying. I am a non smoker and HATE how tobacco smells. I have friends over who use e cigs in my home right across my table and it's not stinky or offensive at all. It makes no sense.

Whether it makes sense or not... whether you find them not stinky or not.... whether it makes no sense or not..... bottom line... not allowed discussion over

I disagree, there is a smell, especially the flavoured ones and as an asthmatic they too upset my breathing as cigarettes do.

 

They quote on Ncl that e-cigs are treated as cigarettes so they too are not allowed on balconies
