This may be good news for those who have paid the extra price for the fresh open air on a balcony. Some passengers have claimed their vacation was ruined by a smoker on a nearby balcony.<\/p>\n
However, if you’re a smoker who has booked a balcony on a Carnival Cruise Line ship that sails after\u00a0October 9, 2014, you may be a little bit upset. Smoking inside the cabin is already banned, but now you will no longer be allowed to step out on the balcony for a smoke. Unfortunately, it was just a matter of time. Most of the cruise lines have already banned smoking on their balconies, and as well as, most of their public spaces. Smoking is still allowed in the\u00a0designated smoking places, such as a night club,\u00a0cigar bar or casino.<\/p>\n
