mrwilliamt Posted September 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I sailed on the Gem in May, and for the first time with my experiences on NCL, they did not sell Newport cigarettes. Do they have them for sail on the Breakaway? Just wondering if anyone noticed. Trying to plan on if I should bring, or buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson bernard Posted September 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I did not see them, but pall mall menthol were only 18 a carton. Bought several. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were $47.00 a carton I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcherII Posted September 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2013 If you buy cigarettes from the duty free shop on board are you permitted immediate access to them? Or is it like alcohol where they hold them until the final day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwilliamt Posted September 25, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Great info, thanks. I was so bummed out when they didn't have them. I asked the Russian guy who works there if they had any in the back or something, he said no. I then asked him "can you get them?" His reply in his strong Russian accent "where do you suppose I would get them from?" Lol, good answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindrid Posted September 25, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I bought Newport 100's soft pack cartons on the Breakaway. They were $47.00 a carton I think. I would be surprised that they were that expensive as my Mlboros are about $22.50 in bulk purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfg1027 Posted September 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Husband smokes Newport box.....they did not have them on the 9/8 Breakaway cruise. The did have Marlboro menthols though he made due :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino Comp Chick Posted September 25, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I would be surprised that they were that expensive as my Mlboros are about $22.50 in bulk purchases. Newport were the most expensive cigarette in the store. I have noticed on most cruises out of NYC they are the priciest (i.e. popular) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchmomd Posted September 26, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I saw newports along the back wall on the 9/8Breskaway cruise. I would strongly recommend that you go as soon as the shops open, tho. They were out of marlboro 100s by the 2nd day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfg1027 Posted September 26, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 26, 2013 then that must have been it....they were all sold out by the time my husband tried to get them I don't smoke so I wouldn't have noticed it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed on most cruises out of NYC they are the priciest (i.e. popular) I did not know that Newports were that popular. When I checked they were one of the "Top Three" with Marlboros being first, Newport second and Camels third. More worthless info in my brain :). I need my end of October cruise to get here......

francina Posted September 26, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 26, 2013 They had Newports when I was on the Jewel. N however they didn't have the deal like they had for Marlboro and they only had box. Which I didn't care because I brought them for someone else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiniti820 Posted September 26, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Anyone see any Parliaments there? I would like to know this too- last year on the jewel, no parliament! I had to smoke the Marlboro lights- good deal though 5 cartons for $125.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino Comp Chick Posted September 27, 2013 #20 Share Posted September 27, 2013 For those who brought back more then allowed, where did you pay the $10 per carton? When you go through customs there will be a window they will direct you to pay, they take cash & credit cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobg529 Posted September 27, 2013 #22 Share Posted September 27, 2013 It's getting harder to find a place to smoke on board the ship now, what with them getting ready to ban smoking on your balcony. Why not use your vacation as an opportunity to QUIT smoking? You'll have plenty of things to do to keep you occupied, and good food to eat. Your family doesn't want to lose you, and neither does NCL, lol. I don't mean to preach. I'm sure you want to and you hear it enough already. I guess reformed smokers are the worst. We know how hard it is to quit. I wish you luck and a wonderful vacation regardless. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumby&Pokey2 Posted October 9, 2013 #25 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes you take then with you after purchase. Please note customs duty is $10.00 per carton above the allotted amount Does anyone know what the 'allotted amount' is? I purchased 5 cartons on our last cruise, and I was thinking of doubleing or tripeling that on our next cruise. We noted the 5 cartons on our customs form, but that didn't trigger any fees when we returned to the US. I'm guessing there must be some threshold?
