Also, if you are actively gambling, you can vape in the casino. Smoking/Vaping is not allowed anywhere else on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all the same except the liquid form is much more harmful to one's health. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fshagan Posted April 23, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, jay888 said: Thank you, mine is not a nicotine vape it a medical vape The NHS supports vaping over cigarette smoking, so this doesn't surprise me. The ship does allow vaping of non-cannabis products in the designated smoking sections. I don't think you will be questioned if you are in a smoking area, but if the vape is CBD, it could be problematic in some countries while ashore. Check the laws of the countries you are going to. When in port or on shore you are subject to their laws. Some countries have full bans, some have bans strictly on nicotine products, and some countries have other restrictions like the legal age to vape, etc. You can see a map at https://www.statista.com/chart/19475/global-electronic-cigarette-laws/ I would take a copy of the prescription or the original packaging of the vape product so you can prove it's not a nicotine vape if you are going to Turkey, Australia, most of South America, etc. where the laws prohibit it. Or just limit your vaping to on board. Edited April 23, 2023 by fshagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually provided by independent, non-big-tobacco companies that make them for vapers. Because they are not pre-packaged e-cigarettes, I would be careful in with it ashore. If it looks different to the local authorities you could get hassled. I don't think you'll have a problem on board, as Americans (who fill most of these cruises) are familiar with them.

You can also vape in the casino, where the smoking is allowed. Since you use it for medical purposes, that should be easy enough for you to go to the smoking section for the vape.
