Can you smoke cigars on the balcony?

[GadgetRick]

Nice to relax and smoke a cigar outside. Is that permitted? Is it permitted anywhere on the ship?

 

Thanks.

Every cruise line has different rules for smoking. On Norwegian, you can smoke cigarettes on the balcony, but cigars and pipes are limited to the cigar lounge.

Looks like you are on Carnival. Best to ask this on the Carnival board, here:

As every cruise line's policies may be different, identifying the cruise line, and ship, would help us help you.

The answer will depend on the cruise line you will be sailing with.

Thanks. Doing a Carnival cruise. I'll check over there. :)

Yes, best to ask on the Carnival Cruise Line Board.

 

Also, if you just access the Carnival's own internet site and search under smoking it will address cigar smoking.

I am pretty sure Carnival will not allow cigar smoking on the balcony.

[Krazy Kruizers]

I am pretty sure Carnival will not allow cigar smoking on the balcony.

 

HAL allows cigar smoking on their balconies and verandahs.

Yes, Carnival does allow smoking a cigar on your balcony (but not in your cabin). However, it may cause some non-smokers to complain, just as they do about people smoking cigarettes.

I wouldn't smoke in the cabin and, if someone complained, I'd gladly not smoke a cigar on the balcony (I know it's close quarters).

 

Thanks again everyone!

I hope smoking isn't allowed on any balcony ---We like to enjoy our balcony also.

Depends on the line. Some lines allow smoking on balconies, some don't.

If it is important to you, you should check the cruise line's policy BEFORE booking.

 

OP indicates he would not smoke if someone complains. Other smokers may feel they have selected a ship because they are allowed to smoke and not be so quick to refrain.

Yes, cigar smoking is allowed on balconies. Remember you paid your fare just like everyone else. Don't let others keep you from enjoying yourself, if smoking offends you go somewhere else. Come to Las Vegas and visit a casino. Leave people to their vices and keep it to yourself!!!:eek:

P.S. I know you don't like this post, so you don't have to tell me!!!:D C.G.

Didn't mean to start a smoking/no smoking thread. :)

 

I enjoy cigars a couple of times a month and while on vacation. As I mentioned, if it bothered someone, I'd not do it. I can understand.

Carnival Spirit does not allow smoking anywhere except the starboard side of one of the swimming pools.

Although in most cases smoking is restricted because smoke may bother others, on ships there is a much more important reason why it is restricted: fire safety.

 

The number one danger to ships is not sinking, or running aground or whatever mishaps we think of when we think of ship accidents, but fire.

If you look at post #229 on this (fairly lively!) thread about smoking there is a list of the smoking policies of many of the lines. It's not entirely accurate, in small details of locations, but will give you a broad picture of the lines' policies.

I'm not a smoker, but is it allowed on the balconies on Allure of the Seas? I hope not.
