Are all cruises non-smoking?

Am I right in assuming all cruises are totally non-smoking these days?
In personal cabins?
Are there pub-type smoking areas on deck?

Crossposting this to rec.travel.cruises, a very knowledgeable group with
fairly heavy traffic.

No. They usually have smoking-rooms available, where you can sit down and
smoke a cigarette or cigar.

In personal cabins?

Rather not, due to safety-reasons (fire).

Are there pub-type smoking areas on deck?

Yes.

but do they have as many resident anti-smokers as this group has?

I'm not sure, I don't look at it very often. My wife is utterly anti-cruise
so it's my vicarious way of travelling the high seas. I suspect cruising
solo isn't much fun.

That's superb, and far more 'available' than I expected. Many thanks!

I was unfortunate enough to be on a Nile Cruise with a
German passenger complement, plus me, two Brits and two
Russians.

The only non-smoking area appeared to be the dining room,
everywhere else had an ashtray on every table.

I suspect you would find similar arrangements on many of the
European river cruise boats catering to German passengers.

Which cruise lines have smoking rooms available?

When I went on a mediterranean cruise with MSC last year they did have
rooms where you could sit down and smoke and have a drink or play some
cards. Somewhere near the Casino-part. They did have seperate doors and air
conditioning, so the smoke wouldn't disturb other passengers.

It was not allowed to smoke in the cabins, though. I can't remember if you
could smoke on deck (I don't smoke myself, but I remember that
smoking-room).

In Germany they start to ban smoking in public areas, though it's not in
every part of Germany so far. I would expect that most river-cruises in
Germany should be smoke-free now.

Egypt is another cup of tea, there's not much of a non-smoker-lobby in
North Africa or the Middle East.
