duty free onboard independance

[Wardy_Waves86]

just a quick question for you all, we sailed on independace last year to cork, ireland and they were not allowed to open the duty free store as we were still in english waters

 

this year we are doing the b2b paris, cork trip so was just wondering if they would open it on the paris leg?

Hi, not 100% sure of the answer as we've never been on the Paris trip, but I think duty free can only be offered if the ship makes a stop at a port outside the EU, which is usually Gibraltar or the Canaries.

Cork is in Southern Ireland part of tve EU. It isn't English or in English waters.

As France is also in the EU then no, it won't open.

Having done both trips last year, Cork and Paris, I can confirm that you could not buy any duty free!
