Volendam Duty Free Clairins or Clinique products?

[RosemaryJane]

Hi Fellow Cruisers,

 

I am very excited about my upcoming cruise and am debating about checking luggage in order to carry face creams/liquids etc.    On past sailings, I have purchased products onboard at reasonable duty free prices.  Just wondering if anyone who has sailed recently, or will be on the Volendam soon, can let me know if Clairins or Clinique products are in the onboard duty free shop on the Volendam.  If I don't have to check a bag that would be great and I'll just stock up on products onboard. My cruise ends in my home city, no return flight needed! 

 

Thanks in advance!

Before "covid", Dufry took over the onboard duty free sales for Holland America - and they do offer both brands. Don't know what the status is now after "covid", nor if a smaller ship like the Volendam carries that much inventory to start out with.  

 

Tough call, but my guess is you may not be able to stock up much onboard if this means going with or without just your carry on. Hope someone has better answers, but you might want to see what you can learn anything from Dufry itself. 

 

Interesting question.

Thank you, OlsSalt for your reply! Hoping someone sailing soon can see what is onboard! I will also see what I can find out through Dufry.  I was on an NCL ship in January and was able to get the products I use, so I'm hoping it will be the same with HAL!   I had a very delayed baggage experience last December and I'm hoping to travel lightly this time, plus have booked all of my excursions and have OBC to spend!
