P&O to ban smoking inside three ships
CRUISE operator P&O is to ban smoking
inside half of its Southamptonbased
ships from October.
Passengers on its two family-friendly
ships Oceana and Ventura, pictured
above, and the adult-only Artemis will
not be able to light up in any inside
space. However there will be allocated
smoking on deck, and passengers will
be able to smoke on their cabin balconies.
P&O cruise manager Nigel Esdale
said: "This is another step towards an
even healthier holiday experience."
Earlier this year rival Royal
Caribbean International, which operates
the world's largest cruise ship,
Independence of the Seas, from
Southampton, changed its on-board
smoking policy to stop passengers
lighting up in cabins, although not on
balconies.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is outlawing
smoking in all cabins and balconies
from the end of the year.

Smokers need to be restricted to smoking in wide open public spaces or inside their own homes or their properties.

Look out, Britain. Let this campaign to turn smokers into lepers continue, and it'll be drinkers next, and who knows what after that? Liberty is at risk

Let's stamp it all out and save our country from this moral decline!

Just smokers.
On second thoughts, throw in alchoholics with their Jeykl and Hyde personalities and nasty violent behaviour.
Banning smokers and boozers would halve the Country's health care costs so [bold]everyone else[/bold] could then get a free cruise.
On third thoughts, add silly-list- makers to public banning.

P & O are being very underhanded with this. Changing the terms well after booking.
Also I would like to point out that smokers are not lepers or 2nd class citizens either. Just the same as the rest who probably have some other habits that others do not like.
I hate people that eat curry and smell.
