momtodogs Posted June 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2017 What is the name of the current shopping consultant on the NCL Pearl? I think his name was Trey, but I can't remember his last name. I was on the Panama Canal cruise from 4-20 to 5-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamasylvia Posted June 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I just got off the Pearl last Sunday 5/28 and the shopping consultant wasn't named Trey, it was something difficult to pronounce. If you really want to know I'll try to find the dailies I saved and hope it is listed somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted June 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I have to say, I really hope no one knows the answer to this.... I would have to agree with this and also getting a morning chuckle. Okay... maybe mean of me to say it. But shopping on a cruise ... I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergates The Ant Posted June 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 2, 2017 What did the shopping consultant do? I'd be worried that they would spend their time talking you into purchases that you'd normally steer clear of? I didn't see that much to actually buy on our recent Jade cruise. A lot of watches, a lot of jewellery of the type that looked like bad fakes that might have come out of a Christmas cracker, and very little fun stuff like clothing, bags etc. nothing to tempt me at all. We have some free internet as a perk, so if I'd wanted to buy something like perfume, I could have checked our local home prices for comparison.

sanger727 Posted June 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2017 What did the shopping consultant do? I believe the shopping consultant is person who runs in seminars where they tell you where to shop in port Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_lime_among_coconuts Posted June 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Armen Petrossian (former NCL cruise director) should be the Port Shopping Consultant on the Pearl right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnterCruise Posted June 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I can't believe cruise lines actually pay someone a salary trying to steer business to favored companies. I wonder what the cruise lines percentage of sales are? Ever notice how they ask to see your ship card as they are ringing up sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasylvia Posted June 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I found last week's dailies and the shopping consultant on the Pearl then was Armen, no last name given. I'm not sure why I remembered that as unpronounceable. The only Alaska souvenir I brought back, to my disappointment, was a bag of birch candy. Didn't have the energy or time to do much shopping in ports (plus I make a beeline for the most expensive items, I didn't let myself go into the alpaca store in Juneau) and there was nothing I particularly wanted in the Alaska store onboard.

Rare Peachypooh Posted June 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Can't quite remember the shopping consultant's name (sorry)but I do feel it was worth attending a few of his presentations on our Panama Canal cruise. He gave out pretty good information (without being asked) where the public restrooms were in Bonaire and also the name of a jewelry store to buy emeralds in Colombia. Supposedly if you got home and they were fake NCL would make it right with you. I did end up buying some modest emerald earrings which I wouldn't have without the guarantee. And it is always a good idea to know where the restrooms are when traveling. For what it's worth all the places I went on Bonaire had the word toilet spray painted on a rock or a concrete wall with an arrow. I probably would have missed it.

They are hired by the stores the recommend and placed on the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfish Posted June 2, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The cruise lines own a LOT of the stores in the Alaskan ports (at least the ones near the docks), That's why they have someone on board pushing those stores, the locally owned and operated stores almost always have signs in the window stating this fact.
