Non smoking ships

[PAULNJILL]

Not a big debate on this one please but is anyone aware of a cruise line offering non smoking ships ?

Carnival had one non smoking ship but I read they are or have changed it back to smoking

Carnival's Paradise used to be non-smoking but it either has been or will be changed to allow smoking.

 

Renaissance also used to be non-smoking but they stopped sailing after 9-11.

 

Sorry. If it helps any, I hate smoking and have only had problems in the casino on Princess ships.

i am so disappointed that this trend didn't catch on with the Carnival Paradise. I get migraines from secondhand smoke and have researched this a bit, no one else is doing it right now...

I agree with Coral. I have asthma and second hand smoke is a real problem for me. I find no problems around Princess ships except in the casinos. HAL casinos apparently have a much better ventilation system and the smoke in their casinos is much less bothersome than on Princess. Other than the casinos, though, I have no problems aboard Princess. And I, too, have heard that the no smoking Paradise didn't work for Carnival and they are discontinuing it.

Never had a problem, either. Cabins and public areas are well-maintained and thoroughly cleaned ... and ventilation is good. I never go to the casino except to look around when I board the ship. Since I live in 'Vegas, there's no real attraction to me!

Carnival Paradise is still no smoking, but that will end in September when it gets transferred to California. This ship will do 3 and 4 day cruises. I did 3 cruises on this ship; 21 days of pure heaven. Many, many ships are nicer/bigger/ etc., but no other ship smells so good.

 

I'm sorry to see it go to smoking, but revenue is still the number one priority, and a no smoking ship doesn't do the big numbers.

I too am very sensitive to smoke and the smell of smoke but rarely have a problem on Princess. Every now and then there's an inconsiderate person who carries a cigarette or cigar around but I've never had a cabin that smelled of smoke.
