txladycruiser Posted February 14, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2010 What shops are on the Voyager? I think I read somewhere that there was a Film shop. Is there a place where you can buy toiletries? Anything else? Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted February 14, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2010 There is one shop on the Voyager that carries a very limited supply of toiletries. You might be able to buy film there -- not sure since we don't use film. The shop has watches and jewelry on one side. . . clothing, and miscellaneous items on the other.

tallship Posted February 14, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2010 You can also purchase many toiletries (soap, shampoo, cosmetics) in the Canyon Ranch spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txladycruiser Posted February 14, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I'm sure most people use digital nowadays but someone could need more batteries or additional memory cards for their camera. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UUNetBill Posted February 14, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2010 And of course, batteries and memory cards could be purchased on shore; not sure which would be less expensive, tourist ports or aboard ship?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Almost anything you buy on board is fairly expensive (especially since passengers are always trying to get rid of on board credits (OBC) in the shop and spa). If you need soap or shampoo -- other than what is provided in your suite -- you could go to the spa. . . however, I'd only resort to that if I had loads of OBC.

PaulaJK Posted February 15, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The 'sundry' section is petite. I would not count on it for anything! e.g. They did not have any insect repellent. There are a few perfumes...but I don't recall a selection of cosmetics [creams, lipsticks,etc]...perhaps someone else could elaborate. The prices in the salon are quite high but they do have nail polish,etc if you are desperate. While we did not specifically seek out film, camera supplies or batteries, remember that there no longer is a photographer w. his shop on board...so I wouldn't count on those either. Some ports offer opportunity for such purchases [e.g. Sydney] while others So the caveat for all of us is try to be thoughtfully prepared/supplied! The clothing selection is small and much, although not all, of it is logo. On the whole I find the shop rather weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txladycruiser Posted February 15, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Is there a beauty shop (maybe in the Spa area)? We have a Baltic cruise booked for July and have also put down a deposit for the World Cruise 2011. There is no way I could go 5 months without a haircut or color, for that matter!!

Karen Yes -- they have a new, lovely spa (including beauty shop) -- Canyon Ranch Spa. It has been on Regent since December - reports are very positive (although the prices are quite high).

Jim B Posted February 15, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 15, 2010 We always take extra memory cards and rechargeable batteries plus the charger. If you take these with you it sure has to be a lot cheaper than buying these items on board or tourist shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at the risk of hijacking this thread, if you're planning on dropping big $$ for a Regent cruise, budget in another $150-200 for a new point-n-shoot digital camera. The performance and battery life are dramatically improved; enough so that it's pretty easy to justify an upgrade every year or two. Just MHO. We now return this thread to it's original topic. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RachelG Posted February 16, 2010 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What Paula said about the gift shop's selection of sundries being petite is really true. My husband forgot his shaving cream, and since the first 2 days were sea days, couldn't buy any off ship. Gift shop had none. I ended up getting some VERY expensive shaving lotion for him at the spa.
