DUTY-FREE Perfume ON SHIP

[vinob]

Whilst we've cruised a number of times, forthcoming cruise is our first with RCL.  Can anyone advise whether the Perfume onboard is likely to be any cheaper than duty-free at airports or more expensive.  Any info much appreciated.

I favour Bvlgari products having travelled with Emirates Airlines a fair bit ( they give free sets out to Business & First class passengers in your overnight amenity bag they provide). I buy it regularly and as much as I will 'sometimes' pick up the 5 x mini bottles sets on board ship, I've yet to find an airport that's not cheaper, or for that matter less well stocked for the bigger bottles unfortunately!

Obviously, that's only with regards to Bvlgari, so you may hit lucky with a sale on board, but that said I've yet to see ( I'd feel the hit in my wallet) my wife buy any on a cruise either!

I think it may be about the same costs. There are times certain perfumes are on sale (25% off) towards the end of the cruise

Not sure where you're located, but I found stuff cheaper online through FragranceNet or Perfumania. Even on the last sea day when stuff was on sale, it was still cheaper online. I was looking at a handful of men's colognes, but I would imagine women's perfumes would be the same. (Note - I've always gotten authentic stuff from FragranceNet, but I have sometimes been disappointed by Perfumania; however, they have always allowed a return or taken care of me.)

I wear Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and have not seen it cheaper on board vs. where I get it locally.  That being said, I have rarely seen it cheaper in the airport either.

I am a big perfume fan.....I favor Chanel Coco & CK Euphoria......both have always been cheaper on the ship vs on land.

Many thanks for all your replies. Most helpful, will buy online before we sail.
