Will they still allow it with the new smoking policy? The one that either just started or starts soon?

New smoking policy in place 11/two days from now.

What about smoking on the ship?

As the health and well-being of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance, Norwegian Cruise Line will institute changes to its smoking policy for all sailings on or after November 1, 2014. The specific changes prohibit smoking on stateroom balconies and limit smoking in the casino to players. On Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Breakaway, smoking on The Waterfront will be permitted on the starboard side, except by the outdoor dining areas.

Guests in the Garden Villas may smoke in their private garden and on their private sun decks.

Public areas throughout all our ships are smoke-free. If you smoke regular or electronic cigarettes, you can do so in designated areas only. If you prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Smoking cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipes is permitted in outdoor public guest spaces and open decks where designated by the ship's management based on the ship's specific characteristics and arrangement. Smoking, including electronic cigarettes, is prohibited in or near venues serving food, the jogging track, outdoor sporting venues, The Haven outdoor areas and children's pool areas. On ships with The Waterfront, smoking is permitted on the starboard side excluding any food service areas. Active Casino players may smoke cigarettes in the Casino during gaming hours. Cigarette smoking is not permitted in any other indoor venue or location.

Guests are not permitted to smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or pipes in their staterooms or on their balconies. Cigar and pipe smoking in staterooms and on balconies is prohibited. Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 cleaning charge added to your onboard account. If cigarette burns on furniture, linens, towels or carpeting are detected; guests will be advised and charged for the damages.

Electronic cigarettes cannot be used in public areas where there is a No Smoking policy in force; simply because these cigarettes look so realistic and therefore other guests' perception is that we are not enforcing the No Smoking rule.

It is the only cabin on the fleet that you will be able to smoke on, NCL confirmed it here a few months ago as the 2 decks are ultra private so the complaining non-smokers will be none the wiser.

As an FYI I received a response from Kevin Sheehan regarding this question.

Good Afternoon, I appreciate the fact that a representative of your company reached out to me this week regarding my previous email. I am far from happy with the fact that NCL did not try to make a compromise such as different sides or different areas of the ship I would like to inquire about the NCL Gem garden Villa's, Would I be able to smoke on the private sundeck as it is not a balcony and really are private?

Please let me know the policy regarding Garden Villas and if in fact there are any other categories that have some type of exemption from the no smoking rule.

Thank you again

Not "in" the Garden Villas, but in the outdoor private area's of the Villas.

While I do not smoke I think a compromise would have been balconies on one side of ship for the next 3-6 months. I would be upset if I booked a November cruise and was told no E-cig on my balcony because it confuses people!
