Solstice Sally Posted January 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If you look on the HAL board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=171 There is a huge thread on HAL's smoking policies. You no longer can smoke of HAL's balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywood Posted January 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Where on line are you looking? Only place that matters is the HAL website: http://www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-vacation-planning/PlanningAndAdvice.action?tabName=Shipboard+Life&contentMenu=Onboard+Policies&contentSubMenu=Is+Smoking+Allowed+On+Board?&WT.ac=PopTop_Smoking 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted February 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2017 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). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
