m steve Posted March 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yes. There are several just across the street. Liquor must be delivered to the ship as they don't sell to locals at DF prices. One is Tortuga Rum and at Margarittaville there is another shop on the ground level. Blackbeards. Look for coupons for both shops on board or around town to get a free rum cake or a free bottle if you buy 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted March 20, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2010 As was stated liquor has to be sent to the ship, so make sure it is purchased earlier in the day .... found out the hard way that they will not let you purchase it when the ship is getting read to board.

tandemcruzr Posted March 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2010 How are the prices compared to Duty Free on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted March 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Prices may be similar but the selection is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 22, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2010 There's also a Tortuga Rum liquor store in the shops at Royal Walter where many crusie ship tender dock. It's only a couple of hundred yards from the other tender dock and many bus excursions park in the lot between the two and bring you back to that lot.

Le Cruiser Posted March 24, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2010 We're about to go to Grand Cayman for the 4th time, and each time I've visited the Tortuga Rum store directly across the street from the tender area. If you purchase anything alcoholic and there is enough time, it will be delivered to the ship and at the end of the cruise delivered to your cabin so you can pack it. Last year, however, our excursion was very late and we had not real time to shop. While my wife waited in line for the tender, I ran into the store, bought two bottles of rum, and carried it with me to the ship. Once I boarded, however, I had to check it before going up to the "main decks". The security people nicely wrapped it and tagged it and it was delivered to my cabin on the last night of the cruise. You'll find the Tortuga Rum stores all over the downtown area - one local called them the Cayman's McDonalds of alcohol! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcee207 Posted March 25, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks for the help. My "plan" was to purchase some, transfer it on shore to my "smuggling" apparatus and board. LOL, boy, the lengths some of us go to for a favorite drink!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted March 25, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2010 they won't let you carry it back to the ship at duty free prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcee207 Posted March 25, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Wouldn't mind paying more if they had what I wanted. Would they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
