Shop on Vista?

[Muckyduckway]

Is there a shop/store/counter onboard where you can buy the kinds of things one is likely to forget when packing? I've found only mention of boutiques, duty-free and that kind of thing.

I am not planning to forget things, but we won't really have the opportunity to pick things up prior to embarking.

I'm thinking of the small necessities like toiletries, first-aid, snacks.

Thanks in advance.

In the past, the boutiques on the cruises I’ve sailed on had one corner of the boutique dedicated to that kind of stuff. Dunno: toothbrush, toothpaste, yada yada. At exorbitant prices! 🤦‍♀️

They no longer (if they ever did?) sell aspirin or cold medication etc.

There are some, very limited varitey of items, located in the clothing boutique, to right of cash desk, in the corner on shelf facing the door.  Not visable from outside the shop.

Yeah, instead a referral to the ship’s medical center. YIPES!

Thanks all.

I aim not to need to purchase anything, but it's good to know its there, just in case! There's always Grand Cayman, should the need arise, but I've heard the prices there are somewhat elevated too.

 

We certainly won't NEED to purchase snacks, but for some reason at one point of every vacation we just crave chocolate or a salty snack 😜

You will have chocolates on your pillow every night and there are pretzels, potato chips and nuts in the bars that you could take a bowl of to your room for snacking later...

I forgot about the pillow chocolates. We brought those home with us last time (no chocolate cravings that time 😀)

Thank you Lyn, don't go out of your way though; better to enjoy every moment.

A photo would be great, thanks.

I was surprised that, given the abundance of photos posters have kindly provided, there hasn't been any of the shop interiors (at least none that I've seen!)

yes

I did not pay attention to them

I think the spa also carries  some

[CardowMD]

Look forward to some photos from someone! Trying to see what brands they carry! Thank you!

Wouldn’t you just take what brand you use?  Or are you thinking May be able to find something new? I’m confused.  But then again, cosmetics are out of my area of expertise.

When is your next cruise? If not imminent, I will try to post the displayed cosmetics.

Is it hard to put together a punch list of items to bring? If one waits till the last minute, then it's on them. That obvious statement aside, yes there will be items that you mentioned available. They would be available on virtually ANY cruise ship. The price however is at a premium.

@Muckyduckway exploring what is available just in case. No reservations yet. Current world situation affecting desired ports of call….
