Shopping on Discovery

[Joysey]

Could someone please let me know what shops are available on Discovery this will be my first Saga cruise having previously sailed with P&O many times. I am wondering if there is a little shop for any forgotten essentials, duty free and gift type shops. Thanking you in advance for any replies.

Not sure if its open in Port or not

There are 2 shops, neither of which is ever open in port. One is a high end jewellery shop which seldom has any customers. The other shop sells day to day items, a small selection of clothes, perfumes, cosmetics, handbags,  jewellery and Saga branded items. Sometimes there are (fairly pricey) gifts related to the destinations on sale. Although described as “duty free”, duty free shops in the cruise terminals may be cheaper.
