It is supposed to be a no-smoking ship, although we saw one passenger smoking on the aft deck.
Plans are for the ship to be frequently used by corporate groups and it was designed with that in mind, both the observation lounge and the dining room being usable for meetings.
American Cruises has another boat in the works that will be basically the same as the Eagle, but a few feet wider and with verandah cabins on both deck 2 and 3 and an elevator all the way to deck 3.
