mmckm Posted March 14, 2016 #26 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We did a lot better a few years ago with Joe's Jewelry in St. Martin. Priced the ship and did better but you have to dicker with them. There not part of the cruise ship stores but have bought a few things from them over the years and always done good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendon Posted March 14, 2016 #27 Share Posted March 14, 2016 So you don't think watches made exclusively for Princess don't exist. It wouldn't surprise me at all. No, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted March 15, 2016 #28 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The watches on board all seemed to be grossly over-priced, why bother. Some people have alot of OBC to spend so they don't have to spend their cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted March 16, 2016 #29 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Because when one looks at them they are through "cruise colored glasses". ;) That probably explains a lot of other purchases made on board. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoriPhil Posted March 17, 2016 #31 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm in the market for a new watch - after checking the options on-board and factoring in the additional 10% elite discount (provided I can combine it with the 10% off on the first day), figure I'll log-in and compare with prices at Macy's or Amazon to see if it's actually an acceptible deal. Here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted March 17, 2016 #32 Share Posted March 17, 2016 No, I don't think so. There was last year (still is) the princess 50th anniversary watch. Seems pretty likely that it was made for princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendon Posted March 17, 2016 #33 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, I agree that watch was no doubt made for Princess...who else would carry a watch with a Princess logo. Some products are simply made of inferior materials for outlets, Costco, BJ's, etc.. A family friend is a clothing manufacturer and has enlightened me on this.

Pushka Posted March 17, 2016 #34 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I am another who has bought 2 Citizen echo drive watches onboard - and they were great buys. Just do the research first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byargertx Posted March 17, 2016 #35 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Last year I forgot to bring along a casual watch for in ports. Didn't want to wear my dress watch. Bought one of a wide variety of Casio watches., a G-shock, I think. A little less than in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted March 17, 2016 #36 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Bought Philip Stein steel bracelet ladies' watch on board. Saved 17%, including state sales tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
