Buying liquor in port

[m steve]

did you know that Tortuga rum is made in Jamaica by Appleton? Cashew wine is just too sweet for me.

Did not know that (is that where the cakes are made too?) Have never had the wine so gonna have to try it so like everyone I too can say ...been there, tried that ;)

The Tortuga Rum Cakes are made on Grand Cayman, the rum is not. The locally distilled rum is Seven Fathoms and I believe Black Beard's is blended locally as well. Not sure about where Black Beard's Big Black D**k's line origin though.

Just a little off the record tip. If u want carry the goodies back to the ship yourself.....u can easily get it back to your room without a hitch BEFORE the last night. All u do is when u finish going thru the xray machine and security checks and flags u.....they then tell u to go to the table to "check in" your goods. The problem is NOBODY is watching or holding u accountable to go to the table. Nor does anyone at the table know u have been flagged. So instead of going to the table u just go up the stairs or elevator to your room. This has worked for me every time. In the event. Do get caught just it off as a chaotic misunderstanding and kindly give up the booze. FYI......your room steward doesn't say a word. In fact they will ice u up.

 

 

thats what i did on the carnival victory!!! i approached the desk but noone seemed to be paying attension, so i carried on walking up the stairs to my room with the bottle underneath my towel. yeh the room steward hooked me up with an ice bucket too! :D

I'm not sure. I know you can purchase it right across the street from the tender pier at a pair of shops that sell duty-free liquor. One is on Cardinal St. called something like Pirates Cove and you have to walk down stairs to get to it, the other is in a little mall on the second floor, right next to a Dunkin Donuts.
