Sue, I think most smokers would agree with you and be willing to pay more for a cabin if there was extra cleaning etc. involved. I think the problem Mark Conroy was running into was trying to figure out just how many cabins to set aside. On shorter cruises there wouldn't be nearly as many needed as on longer cruises such as the WC. I guess setting "x" amount of cabins aside and when they're gone, they're gone wasn't an option?? I do wish they would have given it a try before saying it wasn't doable.

Richard, I also agree with you. As a smoker I would rather be able to smoke in my own cabin or balcony and make all the lounges and public areas non smoking except for the pool bar and of course the conoisseur club.
