Researching for new cruise line

After over 20 years of only cruising Carnival, we have reached the age that we just can't handle heavy smoke any longer. Unfortunately, it is the luck of the draw if the Carnival ship you get on will be light smoke or heavy smoke.

Can anyone with other cruise line experience share their information about the amount of smoke with other lines and how well those lines handle it?

Thank you for your advice.

Well I've done 4 cruises with Princess in 10 years..neither my husband nor I smoke..In fact I am a nurse and smoke sensitive Headache wise- even lean to migraine if really assaulted with cigarette smoke ...=sad..so I have been extremly pleased to note that other than outside the Theatre show doors and on the excursions ..luck of draw..smoke..there have been no bad circumstances re: Smoking issues..Traditional seated dining on Princess segregates smokers to a seperate section on a different floor dining on my Coral Cruise last February through the Panama Canal. we also love the casino and I suffered no ill effects there either...:grin..other than $ leaving me!!!...Cigar smoking was in Churchill's cigar lounge ONLY..Plus my balcony was fine with smokers around us :good luck, IMHO Princess does very well with this and perhaps other posters can add to this...Nice to "meet " you...:)...Joanne

Cruise C: I am not a gambler, but from what I have heard....if the casino passes the test....then you have a winner on your hands (no pun intended). I will put Princess on my list. Thanks so very much!!

As a smoker, and have been on RCI, Carnival, Celebrity and Princess, I'll say Princess is the best for non-smokers. Outside, the smoking areas are well defined and out of 5 Princess cruises, I'd say the vast majority of smokers follow the rules. Also, the indoor areas have very good air movement.
