Smoking Need to Know - Cruise Tips And Tricks
Is smoking allowed on cruise ships? The short answer is yes, but it is not that simple. With the rise of vaping and areas legalizing marijuana, there are rules cruisers will want to know. Regardless of if you're a smoker or not you will want to be informed. Today we are going to go over our Cruise Tips and Tricks around smoking so you are prepared for your next cruise.
Traveling with different cruise lines you can see how they handle smoking differently and if you have never cruised before and think you can smoke on your balcony that is not the case. For many firs time cruisers the biggest cruising tips and tricks for this video is learning you can't smoke on your balcony like you can at a hotel. For so people this is a big issue, especially if they don't know ahead of time. There are strict rules for smoking on a cruise as it is a big safety concern.
If you are smoking on cruise ships there are certain areas you are allowed to do that. Most cruise lines allow you to smoke in the casino, cigar lounges, and most have an area of the pool deck. Many cruise ships don't allow smoking in your stateroom, restaurants and theatre. One of the cruise tips is when planning where you want your stateroom you might want to be closer to a smoking area.

    MSC has the best thermal spas and they are not expensive for the full pass. Aside from the Divina all of them have a therapy pool. Carnival seems to have some good ones on there ship too. I've found Royal doesn't really do thermal areas at all its just saunas.

    As a former smoker now I vape. Now not vaping in public areas fine. It is just water vapor 🙄 it should be allowed in cabins. There’s no odor or flame. Don’t act like it’s dangerous. People have rechargeable everything in their cabins. 🤷‍♀️

      Used to be a Guest Relations Purser on RCCL and this tip is simple but VERY valuable- one time we were doing a western Caribbean and a SouthWest connecting flight ;with passengers from as far as UK and other Euro countries) and had a luggage transit fiasco- the passengers made it to the cruise BUT checked luggage did not make it between connecting flights- there two British families with babies and none of their luggage (except carry ons with some baby supplies) - I felt so horrible for them (they were planning their holidays for two and a half years)- myself and two other crew were all over Key West hunting for stuff - we were also hammered onboard tracking luggage for an entire flight !!! It was complete mayhem 😮but tbh- we really tried so hard cuz these holidays are planned and budgeted for- for crap like this to happen- but they were such happy campers- they weren’t letting it ruin their holiday- it was such a pleasure going out of our way for ‘em👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Moral of story get there a day or two before (especially if you have connections)
