And you probably are. It is a combination of Marketing ploy, cost
reduction and revenue enhancement.
While I doubt that any Cruise Line (or other business) will see an
increase in business from going "Non-Smoking", they do realize a
reduction in cleaning costs, equipment replacement, and probably
Insurance premiums.
Don't ever think that a business makes a decision based on anything
other then increasing revenue & decreasing costs.
