My fiance has quit smoking cigarettes since our last cruise (yay!). However, he has picked up the habit of smoking a tobacco pipe every once in a while (maybe 2 or 3 times a week). Are pipes treated like cigars on RCCL? Will he only be able to smoke it in the cigar lounge? Or will he not even be able to do that?

I can't recall ever seeing anyone smoking a pipe on any of the cruises I've been on. I don't find the odor of a pipe offensive. I think it would be best to ask when on the ship, unless someone in this chat group knows.
As f-mattox notes, pipes are in the same category as cigars as far as where you can smoke them.
I smoke a cigar every now and then (I have a very large humidor full of stuff - some over 10 years old, but still good or perhaps better from aging and proper humidity controls), and I also like the smell of a pipe. But alas, we cigar and pipe people are relegated to specific areas of the ship. Actually, I don't bother with it when on a cruise anymore and go smoke-free. Now that I think about it, I probably smoke less than a box (20) of cigars in a year.
Thanks, everyone. I've never seen anyone smoking a pipe on a cruise ship either, so a part of me doubted that it was allowed at all.
I find it interesting that cigar and pipe smokers are confined to one spot on the ship, especially since cigar and pipe smoke is [generally] less offensive than cigarette smoke. In fact, many of our friends who don't smoke at all actually like the smell of the pipe tobacco. Oh well.
