CdnMessKit Posted September 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does anyone know if there is a way to find out watches they will have aboard? I am looking at buying a new watch and would love to know what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlady27 Posted September 23, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does anyone know if there is a way to find out watches they will have aboard? I am looking at buying a new watch and would love to know what they have. Buy one in port, we looked at a Movado on board and it was $800 but bought the same watch for $349 in St. Thomas :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
househunter Posted September 23, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I agree. We have bought 2 Movados in St Maartin for about half of what the same model sells for at home. We did our research and knew which shops were authorized dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted September 23, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2010 On Oasis, some of the brands available will be Citizen, Tag, Movado, Brietling, and others that I can't remember. Prices are not too bad on Citizen. They used to be pretty good on Tag watches. I would imagine that the Movado and Brietling models are not such a great deal on board.

CdnMessKit Posted September 23, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have a $10 watch also... for when I go overseas or on exercise with the army. I like having a couple for when I am more formal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFIGuy Posted September 23, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Breitling prices on board matched port pricing (Retail minus 20%) with no taxes. They might quote you 15% first, but will offer a special for that day only of 20% off. I guarantee if you come back on another day it will still be 20% off.

Marie51 Posted September 23, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does anyone know if there is a way to find out watches they will have aboard? I am looking at buying a new watch and would love to know what they have. I bought an Anne Klein watch in a local store for $39.99. A month later I saw the exact same watch on the ship for $90. Unless you have something specific in mind or just want a souvenier from the ship, shop elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeagle12 Posted September 24, 2010 #9 Share Posted September 24, 2010 St. Thomas or St. Maarten. I have found best prices in St. Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above response is the best so far for your question. The Citizen and Seiko prices are no less expensive than Sams, Costco and Macy's on coupon days. I'm not really sure when the shift towards higher prices happened, I've bought Citizen, TAG and a Seiko aboard RCCL ships within the past 5 years and got great prices. Now when I do my homework prior I find the deals are better at home. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldofTnT Posted September 24, 2010 #11 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I fell in love with a watch onboard our last cruise. I wrote down the exact model number and went on the ships internet. I was able to Google the exact model and found it cheaper than on the islands or onboard. It taught me that I needed to do alot of research! So do a quick google search on the exact model..I think you will be surprised.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berylde Posted September 25, 2010 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Fruitz watches are made by Phillipe Stein. The price here in States is $225 Anyone seen these on board ship or in the Islands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
