Travel and Vaping Cruise ship passengers & ecigs!

Posted on Carnival's website in the FAQs about smoking:

Effective December 1, 2011, smoking will be prohibited in all guest staterooms. Guests in balcony staterooms may smoke (including cigars) outside on their balcony.

Guests who smoke in their staterooms will be assessed a $250 cleaning and refreshing fee on their Sail & Sign account. Information on this fee is included in Carnival’s ticket contract.

Note: Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes are only allowed in the designated smoking areas.

That's not a problem because you can stealth vape in your room and nobody will ever smell it or see it ! If I'm cruising I'm vaping and that's final !

Except that the casino is now 75% non-smoking and if they want all my money that won't happen if I have to vape in the smoking section!

I have with you on that. Our goal is to avoid analogs, not be around them...

I do NOT smoke I vape and will not be doing that in the smoking section. Come on over to Royal Caribbean, vaped everywhere and never a problem.

It has never been a problem for me on Carnival either. From reports I'm hearing of those who just got off a Carnival ship the news hasn't trickled down to the staff since vapers haven't been hassled yet for using them in non smoking areas.

I am going on Princess next month. I am planning on vaping everywhere until they kick me off!

Currently in Ft Lauderdale on business, looked out my balcony and guess what?

Holy cow. That is quite a pic. It looks like it is grounded!

BTW - I vaped everywhere on the Crown Princess with no issues. I didn't make it blatantly obvious most of the time but for the most part, I just vaped away.

We just got off the Carnival Miracle and I had no problems vaping in non-smoking areas. Of course, I usually try to be discreet about it

Hi all. It is time for our annual cruise and I was wondering if anyone of my fellow vapors have been on Celebrity lately? If so, did you vape anywhere you wanted on the ship? What was the response. Thanks for the replies.

Hi everybody! Just got back from a 7 day on Freedom of the Seas. Vaped everywhere without problems. We didn't hide it at all. We didn't use the main dining room so I can't help there. Took a couple of minutes explaining e-cigs to the security ladies in Jamaica, but they were just interested in how they worked.

Just got off a 5 day on RC. Vaped most places, however I will point out that their new "Guest Conduct Agreement" section of their cruising book does specifically lump electronic cigarettes in with "smoking" so technically only designated areas, however outside of the main dining room no one said anything to me about it.

Just back from a great cruise on Jewel of the Seas. Vaped everywhere except MDR and elevators. Playing trivia one day the host said " no smoking in here sir ". I replied I'm not smoking I'm vaping, nothing else was ever said.

Many of my fellow passengers were very supportive and thought it was a great idea.

Time for another cruise on the Carnival Fantasy.
Plan to see how the new policy works.

Just got off the NCL Star and had no problems vaping. We'll see how it goes on Carnival Pride in May since Carnival has lumped vapers in with smokers.

Vaped with no problems on the Carnival Miracle in Februrary. As far as I know I was the only one vaping on the ship except for a few crew members.

We just booked The Miracle for Nov. I glad you vaped without any problems. Did you vape in the serenity area?

When we were on the Miracle last Aug. we vaped in the serenity area. One bar maid came over and told us we couldn't smoke there and we showed her the e-cig and she didn't hassle us after that, although we did get a few "looks" from some of the passengers in that area. We'll be on the Miracle again in Sept so I can report back after that cruise
