More than you can shake a stick at -- cocktail of the day, X$ per bag of laundry prior to disembarkation, $10 - $50 for watches or $1 per inch of gold chain from shopping arcade, Royal Spa specials of the day, $10 - $20 for blackjack or Texas Hold'em tournament. If you took in all the special sales, you can go broke.

I through they had now stopped the tat sales ?

Thru March/April 2017, QE and QM2 on Asian routes, the special tables set up in the corridors just outside the arcade shops had watches, jewelry, bags, gold chains, t-shirts, etc all specially priced to sell. Doing a roaring business usually. Plus all the marked down items in the shops themselves, even the Cunard branded knick knacks like key chains, paper weights, ship models, books, so many items had special pricing on them.

They were still there in October. They seemed to be selling a lot, judging by the queue at the tills.

Still there this month, including the 'Inch of Gold', and all the other 'bargains'.

 

I purchased a $600 watch on our cruise (only as I had loads of OBC!). Cheapest price I found on return was around £50 cheaper.

It must have changed back then. We were on the QV in June/July and they had maybe 1 or 2 days (one for watches and one for handbag or something like that). I think the watches were in the medium price range (depends on your point of view of course), say around $100/$200 or so (I'm not really, but not $10 ebay watches).

 

The tat sales always used to be very popular - people would fight over any old associated garbage and inches of "gold" !

There again on the Nov Caribbean Cruise under the guise of a Xmas market. There seems no end to inventiveness.

[Splice the mainbrace]

I'm just back from the 26 day QM2 transatlantic cruise to Caribbean, and some of the offers of which we took advantage were:

- 10% off Alcohol for 1 day on Caribbean leg. Made Bombay Sapphire at $35 for 2 litres reduced to $31.50 (£11.75 litre).

- On Caribbean and the return across the Atlantic there was fill a Laundry Bag for $40, for up to 20 items. Good service, returned about 24 hours later.

 

Every day there was the normal 'bring and buy' table sale on the Grand Lobby balcony area. Good reductions on end of season Cunard, QM2 merchandise but other 'offers' such as watches, fragrances etc are worth price checking to make sure they are the 'offer' that they promote that they are.
