    Smoking Guidelines for Norwegian Cruise Line

    Norwegian Cruise Line

    Where You Can Smoke: Smoking is permitted in cabins, on open decks, and in casinos and cigar bars.

    Where You Can't: All indoor public areas except casinos and cigar bars are non-smoking.

    Update 7/15/11 (from the NCL website)

    What about smoking on the ship?
    We want you to be comfortable on board, so public areas throughout all NCL ships are smoke free.

    If you smoke cigarettes, you can do so in your stateroom, on your balcony, in the casino or Cigar Bar (where available).

    If you prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Cigar and pipe smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony is prohibited.

    Also, you can smoke cigarettes, pipes and cigars outside on open decks (just not around food venues, sport decks, kids' pool areas and other designated non-smoking areas).

    8/10/11 UPDATE

    Effective January 2012, guests setting sail on a Norwegian cruise vacation are no longer permitted to smoke cigarettes in their staterooms. Guests who are in a balcony stateroom will be permitted to smoke on the outside balcony; however, cigar and pipe smoking in staterooms and on balconies is prohibited. Ashtrays will be available for use upon request through housekeeping staff.

    In an effort to diminish the presence of smoke indoors, cigarette smoking is only permitted in the casino, where ashtrays and appropriate signage will be displayed. Smoking is prohibited in all other public interior venues including all bars, restaurants, conference rooms, corridors, restrooms, staircases and landings. Guests may utilize the enclosed cigar bars on board Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Gem, Norwegian Pearl, Norwegian Dawn and Norwegian Spirit for cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking.

    In addition, the policy allows guests to smoke cigarettes, cigars and pipes in outdoor public guest spaces and open decks, where designated by the appropriate signage. Smoking is not permitted near outdoor venues which serve food, in open spaces such as the jogging track, sport complex, children’s pool and in The Haven outdoor areas.

    Open deck smoking is "usually" limited to one side of the ship. Port side is "usually" open to smoking and starboard is "usually" saved for non-smoking.

    That being said you will get a lot of people that say it did not happen that way on their sailing. I agree because we all know that there is a certain subset of people that do not follow rules.

    Also, smoking is allowed on cabin balconies.

    If I don't know the answer I'm fairly certain I can find it.

    Thanks for the info John
    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
