6 Safety on board Because you will stay on board of our ship, which is our home and differs from a regular home to some extend, we would like to kindly ask you: not to smoke inside, because of safety reasons and because of odour nuisance. Smoking is only allowed outside on deck; not to make open fire, for instance, not to light candles insight your apartment or outside on deck. Again, because of safety reasons: the ship s interior is en(rely made of wood, and our insurance company does not allow open fire or smoking inside the ship; not to use or to store drugs inside our ship (including weed/420/cannabis). This is not only because it is illegal, but mostly because of odour nuisance and safety. In the Netherlands, it is allowed to smoke weed inside a so- called coffee shop, so please feel free to smoke as much weed as you can handle over there; not to ware (high) heels. Shoes with (high) heels damage the paint and cause noise throughout the en(re ship; to only throw toilet paper into the toilet. Any other objects or materials will damage the sewage pump which leads to severe disturbance and discomfort. Thank you! However, if you decide to violate our house rules, we will immediately contact AirBnB, and we will ask you to leave immediately, in regard to the safety and comfort of other guests and ourselves. Without res(tu(on of your booking. If you have any ques(ons, any at all, please do not hesitate to contact us. See you soon on board of the M/S Svalbard!
