This decision will save me and any one else with serious allergies or asthma or some other respiratory diseases thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars over our lifetime, since we will not be able to book cruises on such ships.
The only difference between your cigarette and your dog is that I have an immediate violent allergic response to your dog. Your cigarette doesn't kill me for 40 years, if it ever does.

If there is a line that encourages pets and bans children, I might be tempted to actually take a cruise.

IMHO, it depends on the crew and whether they are going to quickly and rapidly enforce rules. I love animals, but I hate people who think it's charming to let their dog stick his muzzle in my crotch in a public place. I suspect that there will be a lot of overlap between these people and people who bring the dog on a cruise.

pet friendly hotels and spas, etc are becoming yet another way to compete for business from high end clients.
