Royal Caribbean extends non-smoking rule to cabins

Thursday, 24 Jul, 2007 0

Royal Caribbean International is to ban smoking in cabins on most of its ships from the winter.

The company is extending smoke free space on board 18 of its 21 ships from January, with Legend of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas and Splendour of the Seas following suit next summer.

The new regulations will see smoking banned from all cabins and suites and in one bar or lounge on each vessel.

Smoking is currently prohibited in hallways and corridors, restaurants, Entertainment venues and most of the ships’ interior public spaces except for designated areas in bars and lounges.

Under the new policy from the new year, passengers will be limited to smoking from starboard outer decks, in specified areas in bars and lounges and on the balconies of cabins or suites only.

The line’s marketing senior vice-president Alice Norsworthy said: “Results from online polls as well as input from all of our international offices show very strong support of the new smoking policy.

“These changes reflect a more contemporary approach to healthier lifestyles and will significantly improve the cruise vacations experience for our guests.”
