Cruise lines and smoking
Cunard Line, beginning in spring 2014, will ban smoking on cabin balconies aboard the Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2.
Disney Cruise Line, as of Nov. 15, 2013, no longer will allow smoking on stateroom verandas, and violators will be charged $250 to cover cleaning and maintenance costs. Smoking is banned in all interior spaces and allowed only at specified outdoor deck locations, which vary from ship to ship.
Seabourn Cruise Line, in early 2014, will ban smoking in all cabins on all ships. Smoking is prohibited on the balconies of the Seabourn Legend, Seabourn Sprit and Seabourn Pride but will be allowed on balconies of the line’s other ships. Passengers may still smoke cigarettes in bars and lounges and on the starboard side of the ship. The new policy also bans cigar and pipe smoking except on open-air decks.
