As of November 2013, guests will no longer be permitted so smoke on their verandas.
That's a pretty huge change!

Lol! Trip report has begun! I'm a few days in already!Yes, yes. Thank you for the news updates. They're very important, I understand.
But doesn't somebody have some pictures of a certain Med cruise that need to be posted for the desperate masses?
Ah shoot. I know it's not good news for everyone. There are still smoking sections on the ship, but I know that's not enough for everyone.
That's because they aren't taxed. Wish we could get a tanning bed on the ships. I'd love to skip all THOSE taxes!I like going on deck to socialize while I have a smoke so that's okay with me...although, you'd be surprised what comes into your verandah from other ones other than ash...I remember out neighbor didn't want water from washing their flippers off on theirs so they pushed it onto ours...that being said I think it's a matter of who your neighbors are and not so much whether they are smoking or not, but I digress...
@ChuckElias cigarettes are mad cheap on Disney cruises...like $4.50 a pack...
Where I would anticipate the most issue is during the night. When I'm at mom & dad's house I hear them get up & go out on the front porch a few times a night each to smoke. I guess they wake up at night to smoke. ((Seems miserable & not restful at all. It can't be enjoyable.)) So during the night on a cruise it seems a bit much to wake up, get dressed, go all the way to a smoking area, all the way back, undress, & get back in bed only to do it all over again in a few hours. I know when they vacation at WDW they are super careful not to bother others & stick to designated areas. Just seems a bit much. Jerry agrees it'd be truly unlikely Mom would ever go now. So sad. She would've loooooved it.
That's awful. My brother tried to smoke only in designated areas during the day then on verandah late at night after checking to see if his other side neighbors were out. He was courteous. Maybe if others had been courteous all this time it wouldn't have come to this.REALLY glad about this. Last cruise we had, the person next door smoked often enough that we had to come in the room a couple of times to avoid smelling the smoke. A bummer when we wanted to enjoy the veranda.
I agree. I have no problem with people who smoke. I just don't like the smell and how it makes me sneeze and eventually have a hard time breathing. I wish there was a magic wand that could instantly make anyone who wants to quit, do so easily and quickly.That's awful.

Honestly, I had no idea how much cigarettes cost. That's cheaper than I would've guessed. Even so, I'd rather put the $4.50 toward my next cruise! (I'm trying to make this point to my daughter, regarding Starbucks!)@ChuckElias cigarettes are mad cheap on Disney cruises...like $4.50 a pack...

Yes and yes. If my mom ever cruised she would need a scooter because of health issues. (Nerve disorder, bad feet & hips, she lives in constant pain.)) Getting to smoking areas could be a lot more difficult depending on how far. Short distances she can walk. Longer, like to the other end of a ship, she cannot.@sweetpee_1993 I can fully understand your point of view on this. I realise that smoking is an addiction that cannot easily be ended. I was actually thinking about that this would make it really difficult for people who smoke and cannot easily get to the smoking areas, like maybe a single parent who has a small child who is already asleep.
The point is really that as long as it is allowed there would be inconsiderate people. And to be honest I would be very annoyed if I paid for a verandah and when I want to enjoy the sunset I have a chain smoker next to me.
