A cruise line tried to do a 'side of the ship', I think, a while ago and it was just too hard to do, logistically, with bookings. I guess you should book Princess now, as we probably won't ever book them again, even though we are Platinum with them, because of the current no smoking policy on balconies. It's a shame because Princess is by far our favorite cruise line.

Some people smoke cigars on the balcony and that can present a real problem! We are non-smokers and prefer the rules against balcony smoking. Most of our cruises have been on Princess and they no longer allow balcony smoking as a balcony fire in the past damaged one of their ships and caused costly repairs.

PhillynBill said: I always wondered why they just dont have a non smoking floor for people that are bothered or allergic to smoke .
Philly n Bill They do on some of the Carnival ships - the Splendor, the Magic, the Dream, and the Breeze all have the "Spa cabins" -- these cabins allow unlimited access to the Cloud 9 Spa facilities (treatments still cost) and are ALL non-smoking, including the balconies - you have to sign a form stating that you will pay a $250 fine if you're caught smoking ANYWHERE -- these cabins are usually on the top two Forward decks -- we've stayed in them twice now and LOVE them.

I just posted a report on the Maiden Voyage of the Carnival Breeze. I do not know where the smoke was coming from, but I would say that half of the time there was very noticable cigar smoke on our 9th deck forward balcony. Even with the ship moving and a strong wind, it was still there. This is the first time I have had a major problem with balcony smoking. We were not happy with that.
