littleengine Posted November 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'll be taking a b2b on the Epic in February and it was suggested to me that I could buy a bottle of alcohol in the duty free shop during the first week and it would be returned to me at the end of the first week so I could drink it the second week (vs them keeping it the full 2 weeks I'll be on the ship). Does anyone remember how much bottles of rum and gin go for at the on board duty free? And would it be cheaper to pick up something in one of the ports?

garycarla Posted November 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2014 It appears that people usually get their stuff at the end of the first cruise, and then of course can just keep it. Really surprised they have not figured this one out. As to bottles you buy ashore, and they hold it for you. No idea if that goes through the same process or not. The prices onboard must be decent since so many people buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailing Posted November 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Any booze purchased off ship is held in different location were as the booze purchased on board is usually picked up the night before in the store. If u choose to break the rules and drink on board is up to u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted November 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2014 On our B2B in 2011 they figured it out:mad:. Might have had something to do with the first cruise having duty-free available and the second one did not (all EU ports). We were looking forward to a few cheaper snifters on the balcony;).:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
