It seems like the ship builders (Meyer?) are selling the same ship to every cruise line... I liked it when there were more different designs. Kind of how Disney just puts Disney Parks on everything.
We went ahead and booked the May 30 2020 12 night Med on Radiance. We figure if we like something else when they release Legend then we can change. This way we get the price locked in (before drops I hope). Decided to book the lowest category balcony so we can then take advantage of upgrades in lieu of price drops too. Only 559 days to go
I think the front looks very similar to many other ships, they all seem to have a very short bow now and a wall that goes almost straight up. All the new NCL and Princess ships are like that and the Quantum Class of RCCL is similar as well. Vista Class luckily, isn’t designed that way.

Especially the NCL ones (I know, you don't cruise for hull design but they are so prettyyyyyy!!! 
)
Interesting. We are non smokers too, but I can live with some smoking. I wish they would get rid of that vape stuff. I prefer cigarettes to people vaping. Stinks. Gross. Makes the air wet. People vape all over the ship too. Also think pot is disgusting. Drove through Colorado this summer, they have lost their minds there.Breaking news: Change in the smoking policy
TOBACCO AND MARIJUANA SMOKING POLICY (U.S.)
Carnival Cruise Line is dedicated to the safety of all guests and crew. We want all our guests to have a safe, fun and memorable vacation.
Smoking is a fire and safety hazard on a ship. Consequently, it is strictly limited to specific exterior deck areas and designated casino/night club spaces that can be monitored. All guests are expected to adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- All staterooms and suite accommodations, including outside balconies, are NON-SMOKING. This policy applies to all forms of smoking, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaporizers, electronic cigarettes and marijuana.
- Carnival recognizes that some state and local governments in the U.S., and in the destinations we visit, might allow marijuana use. However, Carnival Cruise Line follows U.S. federal law, which strictly prohibits possession and use of recreational/medicinal marijuana and other illegal controlled substances.
- Any violation of this policy will result in a $500 charge, per violation, posted on the guest’s Sail & Sign® account and may also result in the disembarkation of all guests in the stateroom.
- Guests who are disembarked for violating our policy will be responsible for all financial charges and expenses to return home, and no refund of their unused cruise fare will be provided. Additionally, they may be prohibited from sailing with Carnival Cruise Line in the future.

They are now more severe than Disney Cruise Line!
p.s.: As a non-smoker: YAYYYYY!!!!!
Vaping is included in the policy.
Recreational smoking of pot is now legal in Canada. I'll never get over it. I despise the smell.
Good point. I see you are the realist on the thread!
I realize I liked your post, but actually I do not like it! LolYes. It is legal since October 2018.
We did not have to vote for it to be legal. It was the government's decision.
