You can read about the smoking policies of the major cruiselines (Handy Dandy list of smoking policies)here

We also have a thread about the E cigs here

It says spa cabin. Is that a specialty cabin or is it two words, spa and cabin?

It is a type of cabin. This is from the Cruise Contract:

c) Carnival has designated the Spa stateroom and suite accommodations as an entirely smoke free environment. Guest booked in a Spa cabin agrees to strictly comply with this non-smoking policy and refrain from smoking or allowing any other Guests from smoking in the Spa cabin. Guest further acknowledges and agrees that any violation of this policy shall, in the sole discretion of Carnival, constitute a material breach of this cruise contract. In the event of such breach, Guest forfeits all rights hereunder, including the right to occupy the Spa Cabin and remain on board. Carnival reserves the right to move the Guest(s) to a non-Spa cabin or to disembark the Guest(s), at any port, as determined by Carnival. Carnival shall not be liable for any refund or other compensation or damages whatsoever to any Guest vacated from the Spa Cabin or disembarked pursuant to this provision, or who disembarks because another Guest is so disembarked, and all such Guests forfeit all rights under Carnival’s “Vacation Guarantee.” Guest and Carnival further agree that any violation of the non-smoking policy would also cause Carnival to incur damages, including but not limited to, loss of Guest goodwill, revenue, cleaning, maintenance and/or other costs. Guest and Carnival expressly acknowledge the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of such damages, and therefore agree that a reasonable estimate of the damages for any violation of the non-smoking policy is $250. Guest authorizes a charge in this amount as liquidated damages, as well as repatriation expenses (including airfare) against Guest’s on board charge account, without further notice, for any violation of the non-smoking policy.

From the Carnival FAQs:

Staterooms onboard are not designated as smoking or non-smoking. Guests have the choice if they would like to smoke in the cabins or not (smoking is not allowed in Spa staterooms). All cabins are fully refreshed after each cruise to guarantee incoming guests’ comfort and enjoyment. If upon boarding you are not completely satisfied with the freshness of your stateroom, simply call housekeeping and they will refresh your room again for you.

Even if I can't smoke in the room, I've got my new one that vaporizes. Not happy with it yet, but it will do! Maybe I didn't get a strong enough flavor. Like another poster said, menthols are hard to duplicate.

As per the FAQs unless you have a Spa stateroom or suite you CAN smoke in your cabin.

When I was on Sensation in March, you could smoke in the Piano Bar, on Deck, in the Casino and on your Balcony. I don't believe smoking in the cabin was allowed at the time?

I smoked in my room, maybe not as discreetly as I imagined it to be. The bathroom vent bacame my helper, along with lots of Febreeze.
