winakork Posted July 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Does anyone have any idea of the cost of a carton of cigarettes onboard an NCL cruise, Pall Mall or Marlboro. Looking to see if it is worth waiting till onboard, or bringing from home. I know when we sailed on Carnival, they were around $20-$25 per carton, which is way better than $85 up here in Connecticut. Thx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meglet Posted July 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's a WAY better price than in CT (or MA where I'm from.) Don't remember the actual price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takoyaki Posted July 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I don't smoke but friends do so I looked when I cruised last year, I want to say it was about $35 and it got cheaper the more you bought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdette4 Posted July 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If your first port of call is in Cozumel, they are even cheaper there. I think I got cartons of Marlboro Lights for a friend for $20 a carton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessMN74 Posted July 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I don't smoke but my friends do and they always buy there limits of cartoons when they cruise. I also heard Cozumel has the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Dave Posted July 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2018 My understanding was that anything you bought in the Duty Free shop onboard could not be opened/used until after the trip. Is that not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meglet Posted July 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Last few cruises, they let you take the cartons of cigarettes. Maybe that part of it has changed. They still don't let you walk out with alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
df5250 Posted July 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just off the Dawn, marb lights were $47.99 per carton. If you bought two then you could get 10% off. If you bought 3 then you get a higher percentage off. Still cheaper than home, but the prices continue to rise each year! When on the Gem in Feb, there were no Marlboro products on the ship, and they were $35 in St Thomas. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summergal Posted July 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Husband smokes. He went and priced them in the Duty Free shop. They were much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted July 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I just learned that cigarettes are less expensive on ships sailing out of Miami than those sailing from New York. Miami prices average $34/carton and if you buy three cartons, you get one free. New York prices are about $48/per from what I was told.

Casino Comp Chick Posted July 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2018 4 cartons for $128.00 FYI you can claim extra cigarettes and take as many home as you like, just make sure to claim them (they can confiscate all of them if you do not claim them on the form) the extra cartons are $10.00 duty, sometimes they charge it, sometimes they don’t. Still well worth picking up extras to bring home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winakork Posted July 25, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thx for the info.....I think we will be buying onboard, & in Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bogle Posted July 25, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Just a comment on buying cigarettes in Mexico, it is my understanding that cigarettes sold in Mexico are manufactured in Mexico and do not taste the same as their USA equivalents. My suggestion would be to buy one pack and try it before buying in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpyNor Posted July 25, 2018 #16 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You can buy single packs in certain bars onboard I believe the price for single packs is around $5, maybe a little less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derhub1971 Posted August 7, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Does anyone recently cruising know if Duty Free stocks American Spirit cigarettes? My wife was sold the lie that they are a "healthier" alternative. We leave in 4 days and trying to decide if I bring a carton or gamble the ship or Cozumel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmebetty Posted August 7, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Gem did not sell them in March, but we found them on St Kitts, Antigua, and Barbados...that doesn't really answer your question for Cozumel, but we did find them on islands...

Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk Really appreciate the prompt response. Will just split the difference, bring 5 packs and hope for Cozumel or Duty Free day 2. Maybe even convert her to Marlboros so I save $3 a day when she gets home, lol.:p:p :p:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
