Travel Info Where are the best places to shop when on a cruise? Travel Tips As a rule the ship is the worse place, with the only exceptions being ship souvenirs, loose stone sale and watch sale. Most any port will have some good shopping, the ship will give a mini speech the day before, to let you know what is to be had and any dangers you may need to know about. General rule of any port, don't buy at the shops next to the ship, they will be the most expensive. Look, note the price and keep walking. Knowing how much they charge will give you a good idea of price to work from, and if you don't see the same item anywhere else (very rare) you can buy it on the way back to the ship. Handcrafts will almost always be your best deals. Wood, leather and stone are very common buys. St. Thomas is your best bet for smokes & rum (limit of 5 units each, as long as 4 of the 5 were bought in St. Thomas) If you let me know what ports you are looking at, I can most likely tell you what and where.

Other Travel Tips everywhere actuallly..whereever the cruise takes u....theres always that lil sovenir to absolutely have I think the choice may be a little bit limited looooooooooooool ;^) You could try the corner shop on the third deck, or the local shop near the captain's quarters ... Just hope they take travellers' cheques :^) Watching 'Titanic' ... Don't be scared ;^) Are you referring to shopping on the ship? That really just depends on the ship you will be going on. All the shops are good and each will offer different things. If you are referring to shopping at your destination, it really just depends on where you will be going. Most destinations have great places to shop. If the ship you will be going on offers information about shopping at the port, I highly recommend reading/attending the information/show for shopping. They will let you know different places to shop, that they have used and are reliable and in some cases places to avoid. It is a good idea to stick wtih the stores that the ship recommends to avoid getting fake items or bad prices. Enjoy the cruise! I took a cruise last year, and Cruise.com seemed to have the best prices, however, some places will match or beat that quoated price sometimes. |
