Carnival's New Smoking Policy

We recently received an important update from Carnival regarding the onboard smoking policy.


We recently conducted guest surveys covering a wide range of topics. The feedback we received indicated the overwhelming majority of our guests prefer a smoke-free environment. In fact, nearly 90 percent of our guests are non-smokers, with only less than five percent opting to smoke in their staterooms.


Accordingly, as part of our ongoing commitment to keep in line with the personal preferences of our guests, we will be changing the smoking policy across our 23-ship fleet.

The new smoking policy will be rolled out in two stages:



  • Effective today, cigarette smoking in public venues will only be permitted in Carnival's dance clubs as well as in designated areas within the casino and casino bar. Smoking (including cigars) will be permitted in designated exterior open deck areas of all our ships. Additionally, smoking will also be allowed in the jazz clubs of the following ships: Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph, Carnival Victory, Carnival Spirit, Carnival Pride, Carnival Legend, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Glory, Carnival Valor, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Freedom, and Carnival Splendour.

  • Effective December 2, 2011, smoking will be prohibited in all guest staterooms. Guests in balcony staterooms may smoke (including cigars) outside on their balcony. However, Spa suites and staterooms, inclusive of the balconies, will remain an entirely smoke-free environment. Guests who smoke in their staterooms will be assessed a $250 cleaning and refreshing fee on their Sail & Sign account. Information on this fee is included in Carnival's ticket contract.

We're Moving!

After 19 years of serving the Boynton Beach community from the same location, it is our pleasure to announce that Sand & C Travel will be moving in the Fall of 2011. We have signed a lease to move to Whitworth Farms, located at the northwest corner of Hagen Ranch Road and Flavor Pict Road. We will be in Suite 301, the first store to the right of Publix. We do believe that for many of our clients, this location a bit further southwest, will be more convenient. We are still located in Boynton Beach, but are closer to Delray Beach and the many communities that have been built in the western part of the county over the last decade. For those in the immediate area of our current office, we certainly hope you will take the short drive (less than 10 minutes from our current location) to visit us after our move!

All of us at Sand & C Travel are very excited about this move. We will be building out the space to meet our needs, so that we can have a modern facility in a comfortable environment. While we will be moving, we will continue to service your travel needs in the professional manner that you have been accustomed to. As always, our goal is to plan a fantastic vacation for you with the best value and personal service.

All of us at Sand & C truly appreciate your continued patronage of our office, and we look forward to continuing to book your dream vacations from our new location. Since we do have to build out the space (which includes getting approvals from the county), we do not have an exact date for the move, but will certainly keep you informed through our e-mails as we get closer. If you have any questions about our move, please feel free to contact your Sand & C Travel Consultant.
