Once upon a time, Carnival Cruise Line built the first entirely non-smoking ship complete with non-smoking symbols largely painted on each side of the vessel and on its stern. The policy was so strictly enforced that even workers at the Kvaerner Masa-Yards shipbuilding facility in Helsinki, Finland were expected to abide by it during the vessel’s construction. The ship was called Paradise.
Launched in 1998, the Paradise was applauded by anti-smoking and cancer-prevention organizations. She may have been the last of eight Fantasy-class ships built by Carnival, but she was ahead of her time when it came to the onboard lifestyle.
