Snowman671 Posted January 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We are sailing this weekend on the Star ... I remember reading on someone's post (sorry couldn't find it when I looked again) about buying vanilla in port on one of the islands... they did not buy it in a port shop... they went into town and got it.... was wondering if anyone knows a great place on one of the islands to buy vanilla.... my hubby would like to get some while we are there.... Thanks in advance!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance!!! :) Cozumel if you are sailing to Mexico. If doing an Eastern run, St. Maarten. There was a thread on CC last week mentioning vanilla. It wasn't the actual subject.
