No, the cruise lines have severely limited all smoking in public areas. However, NCL is fairly unique in that most of their ships have very nicely appointed cigar lounges. I'm quite happy when I have a lounge.

For the most part the other lines make you sit in an open deck area and hope it isn't raining or windy or ungodly hot. When I book a cruise on NCL I always check to make sure they have a lounge on whatever ship I'm considering.

We did a Carnival cruise not too long ago and cigar smokers were forced to sit on an open deck by one of the pools, subject to whatever weather we were experiencing at the time. Pretty much sucked. I won't be cruising with Carnival again anytime soon.
