Smoking Policies

Crystal
At Crystal, we recognize that some of our guests smoke and others do not. While most areas of the ship are non-smoking, there will be designated smoking areas throughout. Please note that pipe and cigar smoking is only allowed in the Connoisseurs Club and all suites/guest rooms are non-smoking, including on the verandas.

Cunard
Smoking is not permitted in staterooms, on stateroom balconies, or in public rooms. You will find designated areas of the open deck on each ship where smoking is permitted; these will be clearly signposted on board and listed in the Daily Programme. The only exception to this is Churchill's Cigar Lounge, which is reserved for cigar and pipe smokers. Electronic cigarettes may be used in staterooms and on stateroom balconies; however, they are not permitted in non-smoking public areas. Electronic cigarettes that do emit a vapor should be used in designated smoking areas only.

Norwegian
Public areas throughout all our ships are smoke-free. If you smoke regular or electronic cigarettes, you can do so in designated areas only. If you prefer cigars, you can smoke in the designated smoking lounge. Smoking cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipes is permitted in outdoor public guest spaces and open decks where designated by the ship's management based on the ship's specific characteristics and arrangement. Smoking, including electronic cigarettes, is prohibited in or near venues serving food, the jogging track, outdoor sporting venues, children's pool areas, Vibe Beach Club, Posh Beach Club or The Waterfront. Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Joy and Norwegian Encore have a dsignated smoking room within the Casino. On all other ships, active Casino players may smoke cigarettes in the Casino during gaming hours. 

Guests are not permitted to smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or pipes in their staterooms or on their balconies. Cigar and pipe smoking in staterooms and on balconies is prohibited. Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 cleaning charge added to your onboard account. If cigarette burns on furniture, linens, towels or carpeting are detected; guests will be advised and charged for the damages. Guests in the Garden Villas may smoke in their private garden and on their private sun decks.

Princess
Clearly marked “Designated Smoking Areas” are available on board and include a sufficient number of ashtrays that are emptied regularly. Generally, these areas include cigar lounges, a section of the nightclub, as well as a portion of the open decks. The Casino and Casino Bar are non-smoking areas on board, with the exception of designated slot machines where guests are permitted to smoke only while playing at those machines. All table games are non-smoking. The Casino will also have one or more non-smoking nights (6 pm to closing), depending on length of voyage. Show lounges, dining rooms and all food services areas on board all Princess ships are non-smoking. As a safety precaution, guests are reminded to properly dispose of cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco, which are never to be thrown overboard as this may be sucked back into the ship and cause fires.

Princess Cruises prohibits smoking or vaping of all types, including e-cigarettes, in guest staterooms and balconies. Violations to this policy will result in a $250 fine for each occurrence, which will be charged to the guest’s stateroom account.
