Smoking on ship

[Solstice Sally]

I have been told by a travel agent that HAL no longer allowed smoking on stateroom balconies as of January 2017. But when I look on line the information is contradictory. Can anyone clarify?

If you look on the HAL board, here:

There is a huge thread on HAL's smoking policies. You no longer can smoke of HAL's balconies.

Where on line are you looking? Only place that matters is the HAL website:

Smoking Policy beginning January 2017:

 

Effective with the first sailings for all ships beginning in January 2017, the following smoking policy is in effect:

 

For the comfort of all of our guests, all staterooms (cabins), showrooms and most other indoor areas are designated non-smoking. No smoking of any kind will be permitted on any stateroom verandah.

The travel agent is correct.

Did you check the date of the on line site that you found.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

If you are a smoker, you can always go to the Sea View Pool Bar -- aft on the ship -- and smoke there.

Thank you CruiserBruce. We are once again looking forward to the cruise & the clean air on our balcony.

It is true, that HAL banned smoking on all passenger balconies effective in January. This is similar to the policy on nearly all cruise lines (I think that Costa might still be the exception).

Now all HAL has to do is improve the food and service.
