airlink diva Posted October 23, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I receive weekly e-mails from a travel agent with cruise specials. Today that had one for RCCL Oasis of the Seas. One of the highlights about the ship was it will be the first with a Coach store on board. I know that Coach is a fave brand with alot of people, but having one on a cruiseship? What's next on some ships, a designer row with Gucci,Pradra and other high end names? Would you like to see a Coach store on a HAL ship??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Sure, why not? No one has to shop in any store they don't want. A ship the size of Oasis, there's no way everyone is going to like everything on/in her. People will pick and choose. I'm not crazy about the new jewelry shop they put on Maasdam (and other ships) so I skip entering there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted October 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm not crazy about Coach, but I wouldn't mind a bit of higher-end non-jewelry shopping. Might even BUY something. And if I were a Coach fan, I'd certainly at least have to LOOK in the shop onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWH Posted October 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2009 No Coach store, please! The cost of our vacation would double! DW's addiction to Coach Bags + sea days=$$$$:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hal lover Posted October 23, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2009 A COACH store onboard? YES!! YES!!:D I think it would be better than the jewelry store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertDogs Posted October 23, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yes!! :) I would love to see a Coach Store on HAL!! I would shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemima Posted October 23, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Why would you shop on a ship? The only items we buy are inexpensive HAL logo items and needed items such as a replacement toothbrush. Last cruise we bought one ship magnate. The shop area on Eurodam was so disorganized that it wasn't even fun to walk through. It was too big, too open, too disorganized and reminded me of a bunch of sale tables in a mall. Is this a sports good store? Never heard of it.

K&RCurt Posted October 24, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 24, 2009 No Coach store, please! The cost of our vacation would double! DW's addiction to Coach Bags + sea days=$$$$:eek: I'm with you! I wouldn't be able to afford to cruise! I remember the first time my DW bought a Coach bag. I saw the receipt and asked her what she bought...."A purse", she said..."A WHAT???" Said I! Please, please, please no coach stores onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted October 24, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Let them have it on Ostentatious of the Seas... it's big enough for a mall. Elevator announcement: "Deck 2 - outlet shops." ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furluvcats Posted October 24, 2009 #12 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I love Coach...shop there all the time and I would be in heaven to have a coach store on my ship at my finger tips for many days in a row...my husband however, would beg to differ! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a sports good store? Never heard of it. I always shop on the ship - I like to buy something special from each cruise and I usually spend money on very nice jewelry. Coach is not a sporting goods store, it is a handbag/shoes/jewelry store. In fact, I just ordered a Coach bag online. Of course if you are not into bags, you would not be interested. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted October 24, 2009 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Gotta say -- if it was Hermes or Chanel, I'd probably be in big trouble. Not a bag, not a "big" purchase, but something.... as a souvenir, y'know? :) I can see it -- first day onboard, I'd find something I adored, and as the cruise went on, I'd be more and more convinced I needed it. Let's hope HAL doesn't start with luxury retailers. I'd not be able to afford to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Junky Posted October 24, 2009 #16 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Is this a sports good store? Never heard of it. No, Coach is definitely not a sports store. Handbags with some shoes, belts and coats thrown in for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyk47 Posted October 24, 2009 #22 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Seems to me that the stores on the ships once carried higher end goods than they do today. After a six year break we came back to cruising and thought the quality of items and shops had really decreased. Not saying it was Coach or Rollex kind of names years ago but it certainly wasn't "gold by the inch". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it was Coach or Rollex kind of names years ago but it certainly wasn't "gold by the inch". :) I'm fairly new to cruising but mom used to buy really great high end items much cheaper (I guess duty free) so when we started cruising regularly in 2001 I was looking forward to some nice finds and have been really disappointed for the most part. As for Coach - I used to love Coach when they had really nice leather goods (25-30 years ago), but it seems kind of junkie now and they have huge Coach outlet stores everywhere so it's not that special anymore. I would love to see higher end items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
