All cruise lines have it well defined on their website.
RC as an example allows cigar smoking either in cigar lounge or on the smoking side of the pool deck.

Sounds like you will now be a regular cruiser. Welcome to the club. You did well in trying out the 3 day as that is the best way to go for a first timer. Now for a 5 or more as you will enjoy it much more having a day at sea on the way out and a day at sea on the way in, at minimum depending on how many days beyond 5 your cruise is.
