Just in. Starting in December 2007, Regent has announced it will no longer permit smoking in Staterooms, (I thought they were all Suites), Suites or on balconies. "Failure to comply with this ban will result in guests being asked to leave the ship at their expense, without refund or credit for the unused portion of their cruise."
Smoking will not longer be permitted in the Compose Rose or any indoor dining area.
