What kind of Scotches are available in the Duty Free Shop on Escape?

[skynyrd]

Going on the Escape in a couple of days and someone wants me to purchase Scotch for them. Does anyone have a listing of what's available on board? Thanks in advance.

Is Jack a scotch kind of guy?

They typically have what they can get. I would get some prices from home to make sure that you are actually getting a deal. often the deal is not worth the effort.

Yes, that's what he wants.

When I was on the Escape in December, they had a special on JW Black. Two for $24.99, which I thought was pretty good. They have a pretty large selection of scotches. I'm sure you can find something he likes.

Remember whatever you select pack it well for transit.

If going by air - you can't take in your carry on bag.

Suggest that you wrap each bottle in a thick towel and

put it inside a sealable plastic bag and in the center of

your checked luggage - do not put two glass bottles

together at any time.

 

As previously posted get the best prices from your own

local liquor dealer and compare with the prices of what

is on board and then the effort and cost to transport the

booze back home (Is it really worth it?).

 

While there is no Liquor forum here at CC look about

the forum for pictures of activities at bars and zoom

in to see or recognize the labels. You should recognize

the JW Black Label on the 2nd shelf and perhaps the

Blue Label on the very top shelf - consider the Red Label

as being bar stock stuck in the well below the counter.

 

If BirdTravels is reviewing this I think that there are

photos of the liquor lists that have been posted in the past.

 

Some Duty Free shops off cruise ship may have a better

and less expensive selection - returning to the ship plan

on having your shopping confiscated until the night before

the end of the voyage when you can claim it. The same

process happens at the on board Duty Free shops the

booze paid for is available to pick up on that last day.

 

Check out the Customs rules on how much you can bring

back free of customs fees - from what I have been reading

lately it is pretty relaxed (as long as you are honest in the

declaration)

 

And CHEERS "clink" celebrate your liquid treasure !

If you purchase the liquor on the last day of the cruise, you can take it directly to your cabin.

Also get Duty Free Prices in your airports at home and at the Embarkation Port if flying internationally for comparison.

 

At the customs remember it is for YOUR consumption or a gift!!!

Nothing great that you cannot get on land - there is one bottle I never saw before Macallan quest (or something like that).

On the Jewel they had buy 1 get 50% off the second bottle. While the initial price was modestly less than what I'd pay at home, the 1/2 price second bottle made it a really great deal. We padded the box the ship had packed the two bottles in with assorted socks and t-shirts and packed the whole box into a locked suitcase surrounded by clothes. Checked bag made it home intact.
