phoenix1181 Posted August 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2010 We'll be stopping in Grand Cayman on an upcoming cruise. Are there Duty Free shops with good perfume prices? I generally buy what I need for DH & myself in Aruba but we're cruising this year instead & I don't know where I can get the perfume & cologne we use.

BruceMuzz Posted August 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2010 There are no bargains in Grand Cayman. Better to buy it some where else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of suspected this would be the response I'd get but I was hoping I was wrong. I guess I'll have to watch for sales here at home..............

m steve Posted August 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2010 is that most department stores have free gifts of bags, cosmetics or other merchandise with your perfume or cologne purchase that offsets the small savings from the Caribbean or the ship. Cayman is one of the most expensive islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted August 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2010 There is abundant selection with several perfume stores in central George Town. I really have absolutely no idea how prices compare to elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayman is one of the most expensive islands. That depends on what brand you use & I wear the wrong perfume for freebies. The only department store that carries the perfume I use is Neiman Marcus & they want top dollar. I bought it in Aruba last November & Bermuda in April for $40 less than I have to pay when I get it here. There is abundant selection with several perfume stores in central George Town.

kjunea Posted August 12, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I wear a perfume that is not available here in Nashville and I usually buy it on cruises or at internet stores. When I priced it at Grand Cayman on a land vaca a few years ago, it was $30 more a bottle!!:eek: needless to say, I didn't buy it there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted August 12, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2010 had great perfume prices but they don't seem to any more, same with other islands. Occasionally there are deals on close outs but most shops sell at the same price on each island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
