Rare NMTraveller Posted 16 hours ago Author #26 Share Posted 16 hours ago (edited) 16 minutes ago, Host CJSKIDS said: I thought that's what it was about. I can say personally, I'm really bothered to see it. I hate the smell of the flavored vape and would be very upset if I got into a cabin where someone had been heavily vaping on the cruise prior. We had friends that did this and I could smell it every time we walked into their home. I'm happy to send along an email voicing my displeasure with this. Let's not turn this into a debate about the health merits of vaping or smoking though please. My DWs reaction to this was Ewww grosss. Not health. If they want to have vaping rooms that is fine with me. I will not book one. Edited 16 hours ago by NMTraveller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you share what you noticed? I have some booked in 2026 also. Was it allowing guests to use e-cigarettes in their cabin? I usually contact: customerrelations@princesscruises.com Does OP have a sample complaint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not stand to read through that contract again. Thanks for telling us, what it was. 🥱 We did have a thread earlier on this subject. BTW, my contract for a 2026 sailing, said “updated July 2024 version 1.0.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say it in your own words and it will be golden. Personal experiences and comments are better than replicated ones. Your complaint will be different from mine and make it more substantive. Just supply your own thoughts... Mine was very short and straight to the point. Edited 15 hours ago by NMTraveller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted 15 hours ago #32 Share Posted 15 hours ago I’m just wondering why they are allowing this all of a sudden? Maybe there are thousands of people that vape that stopped booking Princess and gave this as the reason.🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I looked at a few of mine, same. Except this is NOT the case for cruises out of Australia. Someone stated on the original thread today. Vaping/e-cigarettes are NOT allowed to be used in the guests cabin. So, not sure about Asia/UK/EU etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but Norway follows a lot of the EU rules. I assumed you are sailing from the UK, Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't smoke indoors at all on cruises out of Australia. They are very strict there. I haven't found those restrictions anywhere except for Australia.

GoofyontheHiSeas Posted 15 hours ago #42 Share Posted 15 hours ago Good article from the American Heart Association. In secondhand vape, scientists smell risk While you may not be in the room while the previous guest are actually vaping, imagine how much of the noted substances will be stuck on the surfaces of your room. Especially if there are repeat vaping guests in your state room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking in the casino was allowed when we cruised out of Singapore in 2019 and I haven't seen anyone say differently since then.

If not allowed, the vapers might sneak an occasional vape subject to a charge if they are caught. If it is allowed, they will be chain vaping...

Rare azbirdmom Posted 14 hours ago #48 Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Well this is interesting. I asked Mr. Google about e-cigarette policies by cruise line and this is what came back: ETA: Never mind, checked one and the above wasn't accurate!

The FAQ page clearly states it is not permitted. That said, I did all of my contracts prior to July 2024 and I do NOT recall seeing this, even though it is there now. Also sent email. Agree that if they are going this route, then just have vaping cabins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
