I was fowarded an email in this regard on my last day on the Voyager. Not being able to confirm anything I was going to check this out on my return to the office on Monday. I am currently in Heathrow airport. Since it is now on the Regent website there is no doubt that this policy is going to be put into effect.

As Karen mentioned some will like it and some will not. What each one of us feels about the Regent decision will not change anything. The reality is that this is now the new smoking policy for Regent. Everyone will now make their decision as to whether to sail Regent or not based on their own personal preferences.

My guess is that the other cruise lines will follow suit.
