We’ve got some additional information for you regarding Royal Caribbean’s revised smoking policy announced yesterday. As part of the new smoking rules, the line has also modified their Guest Conduct Policy regarding smoking on board. The new section is as follows
Smoking only permitted in designated areas and outdoors on the Starboard side of the ship (contact the Guest Relations Desk for details). Smoking is not permitted in any dining venue, theater, hallway or corridor. Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom, however, it is permitted on private outdoor balconies. A $250 penalty will be applied to the SeaPass for guests found smoking in staterooms. Cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco must be properly disposed of and never thrown overboard. A guest must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, posses or use tobacco onboard.
