parrothead74 Posted August 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I am about to do a Western Caribbean, (Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Belize, Roatan). Anyone purchased a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in any of those ports duty free, and if so how much? When I was on the Sensation last November the ship shop only had the Blue in a small size gift set of all the Johnny labels. At over $200 a bottle here locally, I sure would love a deep discount in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be .I think Grand Cayman has a place close to the pier and I think Cozumel should have liquor in the little mall at the port too.Belize and Roatan your outta luck im almost sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not in the Western Caribbean. If you had St. Thomas or St. Martin you could easily beat that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplor97 Posted August 28, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2012 In Grand Cayman...right across the street from the tender dock, in the same plaza as Margaritaville...there is a duty free liquor store...it is on the first floor...definitely check them out.

That makes sense. Best bet is probably Cozumel. Does Carnival do a price match on liquor if you bring them a flyer from the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bogle Posted August 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2012 When you buy in the ship's store the bottles are held until the final day of the cruise when they are delivered to your cabin. The ship will price match bottles available in port but the items must be identical so bring the flier back with you if the item is available in the ship store.

I read on here that the $150 JWB from the onboard liquor store is the ONLY bottle they WILL let you take with you when you buy it. Might only be on the 1st night. Might no longer be the case. And whoever wrote what I read might have been fibbing. But that is what I read on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmith52 Posted August 30, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I bet it can be found cheaper in port. I wonder when you buy things in port. Are you getting the real McCoy or something in a bottle with a copycat label. Those fake designer handbags and rip-off CDs suggest that you just may not be getting what you think you are.

We bought our best fake carry on in Belize and we still crack up about it .Im sure it cost more than we paid to get it to Belize.We live close to NY so we can buy knockoffs pretty easily I wonder if you can buy "fake" bottles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the same cruise and I heard the same offer. I saw the salesman deliver a bottle to a different purchaser the first night at the sale.
