Duty Free Shopping on the Ship?

[DebbieandJerry]

Do you find yourselves making purchases at the ship stores because they are duty free?

I will price out the cologne that Jerry wears (especially when it's on sale) and then see what it costs at the duty free airport before we board the ship. Pretty much the cost of his cologne on the ship is just "no tax".

Believe it or not, the ship's price is always cheaper than what I find at the airport or on sale in Tucson. So, yes, every once in awhile when he is running low (or out), we will purchase duty free on the ship.

Rarely. Usually can find things at home for nearly the same price.

I bought an underwater camera on our last ship. When we got home I found it cheaper on Amazon!

I'm guessing that someone has to be using these shops. Why else would they have them? Hmmm

If I buy there, it's just because it's convenient, or they have some things with the ship's name on it.
