LoriAB Posted August 2, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2011 We will be sailing on NOS in November. I have recently started a Troll bracelet. I will probably purchase Pandora and Chamilia beads as well. Is there a place on the ship to purchase these? Are they priced better than in the US? We will be visiting St. Martin, St. Kitts, San Juan. Are there stores there where they can be purchased at a discount? Thanks. Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1181 Posted August 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I don't know about the others, but Pandora is the same price no matter where you buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted August 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It appears you know what you are looking for. I would suggest researching prices before you go. The best prices are not always found on the ship or the islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriAB Posted August 3, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Well, I thought that some of the beads may be made in Europe, thus they would be duty free. Maybe that's not the case??? I have purchased jewelry in St. Thomas that was a good deal, and I bought other things that were not such a good deal...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori I found Pandora beads in St Marteen and St Kitts now I do not know the price in the US but they cost half of what they are in Britain. I bought a bracelet and six different beads for my daughter and the cost in total was $175. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriAB Posted August 3, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted August 3, 2011 That is a really good price if your bracelet and beads are authentic pandora beads....I recently bought a bracelet and several beads (chamilia and troll) and my total bill was 275. I think I bought 5 beads (4 glass and one silver) two of those stopper thingies, and the bracelet. Because I bought an upgraded clasp, I received the bracelet for free. Do you remember the name of the store in St. Martin??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted August 3, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Just a friendly warning - I'm sure this goes without saying but I'd caution you to be sure the retailer/jeweler is reputable. We were in Europe last month (ooo... I forget where) but they were not licenced to sell Pandora. Obviously, in that case, fakes are bound to crop up. Anyway, enjoy your cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
