Carnival Cruise Line has designated areas for smoking onboard and these designated areas will vary by ship. Where can I smoke on a Carnival Cruise ship? Can I smoke in the Carnival Cruise casino? These are both common questions that guests ask and are ones that I hope to address through this post. Please note, the smoking areas are subject to change at any time and while you are on your cruise you need to make sure you are smoking in a designated place when it is allowable. Further, there is no smoking onboard allowed when the ship is refueling. This means areas that normally allow smoking will not allow smoking during the refueling process. Smoking is never allowed in staterooms or on balconies. Further, Carnival does not allow smoking at the casino bar regardless of whether smoking is allowed while playing machines. Below are the designated smoking areas inside & outside for each Carnival ship:
