Handling Fire Hazards on Board Outside Smoking Rooms – Part 3
Smoking outside of smoking rooms, including electronic cigarettes, is completely prohibited. All use of fire on board, except for smoking in the smoking rooms (including electronic cigarettes), is forbidden. Smoking outside of smoking rooms is a very dangerous act that could lead to a fire accident. We ask for your understanding and cooperation to maintain the safety and order of the voyage.
If smoking activities are confirmed in prohibited areas or if cigarette butts or ash are brought in or discarded in trash cans, a cleaning fee (deodorization) and nuisance fee of 20,000 yen (excluding tax) will be charged, along with room fares and facility usage fees for the period they cannot be used.
In all areas except the smoking room, such as cabins, public spaces, parking spaces, etc., fire sources including matches, lighters, candles, portable stoves, and gas cartridges cannot be used under any circumstances.
