As one goes through life, they learn that there are rules imposed by society, government and companies.
This also goes for cruise lines. Some have lots of rules and some are more lenient. It is important to know what a particular cruise line's rules are.
TheStreet has posted an article on Royal Caribbean's rules on board their ships.
A friend and I took a cruise to Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba with Royal Caribbean. I was able to enjoy my cigars without being hassled by the ship's crew.
The article on Royal Caribbean begins with:
When you take a vacation, there are a lot of rules you typically need to follow. These are generally there to make sure all guests, including you, are safe and have the opportunity to enjoy their time.
And if we’re honest, some rules are there to protect the interests of the company you’re paying for your vacation. For example, when you visit Walt Disney World, there are rules that prohibit you from allowing your children to swim in fountains or lakes in the theme parks, and ones that govern how many times you can visit each ride through the Lightning Lane entrance if you buy the service.
Cruising is no exception to this. And some of the rules cruisers have to follow are well-known, especially by people who have taken multiple cruises in the past. For example, you cannot buy liquor or wine while in port, or in the ship’s duty-free shop, and then take it back to your room to consume. And you cannot throw anything off of your balcony into the ocean.
On the other hand, there are some rules that aren’t as well known, especially when it comes to where and when smokers can enjoy a cigarette or cigar on a cruise ship. But there is one important rule that Royal Caribbean makes sure its cruisers know.
