From my experience in a cruise ship a couple of years ago, I'd say definitely bring a Zippo with you. Ordinary lighters won't work with the wind whipping around you out on the deck.
I always used a Zippo, so of course I had it with me on the ship. Anywhere I went to smoke outside, I was approached by a number of smokers whose lighters were useless.
