Smokers Beware: Royal Caribbean Cracks Down on Smoking

New Policy Bans Smoking in Most Outdoor Areas

Smokers will have to find new places to light up on Royal Caribbean cruise ships, as the company has announced a new policy banning smoking in most outdoor areas.

The new policy, which takes effect on January 1, 2020, will prohibit smoking in all outdoor areas except for designated smoking lounges. These lounges will be located in specific areas of the ship, and smoking will be prohibited in all other areas, including balconies and pool decks.

The new policy is part of Royal Caribbean's ongoing commitment to providing a smoke-free environment for its guests. The company has been gradually reducing the number of smoking areas on its ships in recent years, and the new policy is the latest step in that effort.

Royal Caribbean is not the only cruise line to ban smoking in outdoor areas. In recent years, several other cruise lines, including Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Disney Cruise Line, have implemented similar policies.

The new policy is likely to be met with mixed reactions from smokers. Some smokers may appreciate the fact that Royal Caribbean is providing designated smoking lounges, while others may be disappointed that they will no longer be able to smoke in their cabins or on their balconies.

Despite the potential backlash from smokers, Royal Caribbean is confident that the new policy will be a positive change for the majority of its guests. The company believes that the new policy will create a more pleasant and smoke-free environment for everyone on board.
