medfordgirl Posted September 6, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2012 can you bring cheese back to the states? will they allow you to take it off the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa65 Posted September 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2012 can you bring cheese back to the states? will they allow you to take it off the ship? Yes and Yes. I always recommend the little iron colorful iguana's for sale at the souvenier stalls. They are light, easy to take home and if you place them on the wall on your porch or veranda, you will always be reminded of the Caribbean. Instant good mood :D.

dragonswordkata Posted September 8, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Are there some better places to get cheese? Good prices on wheels? Thanks for the suggestions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcscrapper Posted September 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks, everyone, for good ideas! I'm always sorry when I get home and start the "why didn't I get that .... ???!!!" Perhaps I won't add "metal iguana" to that list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 16, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I collect bookmarks from wherever we travel. I have them in just about every material you can think of. On previous visits to Curacao, I got one in lace, an emroidered linen, leather....... They are lightweight, travel flat, take no room in the suitcase and are great collectable.....

cavecats Posted September 18, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I always look for something I can put on the Christmas tree. Instead of knick-knacks all over the house, I now thoroughly enjoy decorating my tree with memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curacao Posted October 1, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks! Great ideas! Any particular brand of Gouda? I'm thinking picking up from supermarket would b a better option, right? you can get gouda cheese right there at the port at a little store in the Riffort area. Forgot the name of store, but they sell t-shirts and lots of souvenirs. Nice shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 2, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 2, 2012 That's a nice little shop. It's very easy to spot on the right hand side facing toward the bridge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CntPAcruiser Posted October 6, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 6, 2012 We found very nice, reasonable jewelry in Curacao. In particular, we spent the afternoon at Mambo Beach, adjacent to Seaquarium, and there were nice shops along a sort of boardwalk behind the beach. In one, we purchased jewelry made with "apple coral," which we were told was only available locally. Not sure if that's true, but it was a nice purchase to remember the island by. They had necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc., made with coral beads and silver findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted December 11, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Reminders of Curacao's visit.:) These all sound good, and here is my question. It was mentioned that there were shops around some of the beaches where you could purchase "coral jewelry", etc. Now, is there just "some" beaches that have shops like that, or do all the beaches have some type of shops? Also, do you know if the items purchased are from the locals, or "made in China?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
