No smoking cruise ships. Smoking on cruise ships is only permitted in designated areas. Anywhere else onboard including cabins and verandas. It is not that popular or Carnival would build another.
Per the article you reference Celebrity and Royal Caribbean do not permit smoking in inside areas of the ship and they arent more expensive than competing mass market lines. The US300 million Paradise is the only totally non-smoking cruise ship in the world and upholding the integrity of this claim is a challenge taken very seriously by parent company Carnival Cruise Lines.

Smoking is not permitted on motorcoaches. One indoors in the aft port corner of Horizons observation lounge and one outdoors in the forward starboard corner of the Pool Deck. Earlier this week Royal Caribbean became the latest major cruise operator to ban smoking on the balconies of its ships.

Cigar smoking is only permitted in the Connoisseur Club and the designated outdoor area and pipe smoking is only allowed in the Connoisseur Club. Most river cruise lines including Viking River Cruises APT and AmaWaterways operate a no smoking policy on board. On cruise ships smoking is restricted to certain areas of the vessel.
