Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival is the cruise line that once ran the only totally smoke-free cruise ship servicing North American waters. The Carnival Paradise sailed Caribbean itineraries and smoking was entirely banned. Passengers and crew had to sign a form upon boarding signifying that they understood the rules, and the penalties for breaking them were quite severe; disembarkation at the next port of call. Unfortunately, while it was a noble experiment it didn't last long. After about two years Carnival changed the smoking policy -- some say sailings on the vessel were never very profitable. Today all of the ships in the Carnival fleet have areas where smokers are free to light up.
Today all of the ships in Carnival's fleet provide smoking areas in the casinos, most of the bars and lounges, the discos and in designated areas on the open decks including the outside dining area of the Lido cafe. Smoking is also permitted in the cabins and on balconies. Dedicated cigar bars are provided on some of the larger ships in the fleet.
Smoking is not permitted at all in many public rooms, including the library and certain lounges.
