Smoke-Free Staterooms
Royal Caribbean International announced a new smoking policy onboard its ships, effective January 2008. Royal Caribbean is increasing smoke-free zones. All staterooms and one lounge on each ship will be considered as non-smoking areas.
Feedback from guests was a driving force behind the new Vitality program and the line's focus on wellness.
Previously, smoking was prohibited in guest hallways and corridors, restaurants, entertainment venues and most of the ship's interior public spaces except for designated areas in bars and lounges. The new policy now includes all guest staterooms and suites and one bar or lounge on every Royal Caribbean ship.
Guests wishing to smoke may still do so from starboard outer decks, in designated areas in bars and lounges, and on stateroom and suite balconies. Ashtrays are available in designated smoking areas or by request through stateroom attendants.
Violations of the smoking policy will result in cleaning charges added to the guest's onboard account. And line could remove guests from ships if they create problems. Visit www.royalcaribbean.com. |

You're simply on Oasis of the Seas. She's NOT a typical cruise ship. She's a wow ship!
