Cigarettes in the duty free shop on Breakaway

[mrwilliamt]

I sailed on the Gem in May, and for the first time with my experiences on NCL, they did not sell Newport cigarettes. Do they have them for sail on the Breakaway? Just wondering if anyone noticed. Trying to plan on if I should bring, or buy.

I did not see them, but pall mall menthol were only 18 a carton. Bought several.

I bought Newport 100's soft pack cartons on the Breakaway. They were $47.00 a carton I think.

If you buy cigarettes from the duty free shop on board are you permitted immediate access to them? Or is it like alcohol where they hold them until the final day?

They are for your enjoyment as soon as you buy them.

Yes you take then with you after purchase. Please note customs duty is $10.00 per carton above the allotted amount

I was so bummed out when they didn't have them. I asked the Russian guy who works there if they had any in the back or something, he said no. I then asked him "can you get them?" His reply in his strong Russian accent "where do you suppose I would get them from?" Lol, good answer!

I would be surprised that they were that expensive as my Mlboros are about $22.50 in bulk purchases.

Husband smokes Newport box.....they did not have them on the 9/8 Breakaway cruise.

The did have Marlboro menthols though he made due :)

Newport were the most expensive cigarette in the store. I have noticed on most cruises out of NYC they are the priciest (i.e. popular)

I saw newports along the back wall on the 9/8Breskaway cruise. I would strongly recommend that you go as soon as the shops open, tho. They were out of marlboro 100s by the 2nd day.

Good tip, thanks.

then that must have been it....they were all sold out by the time my husband tried to get them I don't smoke so I wouldn't have noticed it :)

I did not know that Newports were that popular. When I checked they were one of the "Top Three" with Marlboros being first, Newport second and Camels third.

 

More worthless info in my brain :). I need my end of October cruise to get here......

For those who brought back more then allowed, where did you pay the $10 per carton?

[UhOh609]

Anyone see any Parliaments there?

[francina]

They had Newports when I was on the Jewel. N however they didn't have the deal like they had for Marlboro and they only had box. Which I didn't care because I brought them for someone else.

I would like to know this too- last year on the jewel, no parliament! I had to smoke the Marlboro lights- good deal though 5 cartons for $125.00.

When you go through customs there will be a window they will direct you to pay, they take cash & credit cards.

Yes they did.

It's getting harder to find a place to smoke on board the ship now, what with them getting ready to ban smoking on your balcony. Why not use your vacation as an opportunity to QUIT smoking? You'll have plenty of things to do to keep you occupied, and good food to eat. Your family doesn't want to lose you, and neither does NCL, lol. I don't mean to preach. I'm sure you want to and you hear it enough already. I guess reformed smokers are the worst. We know how hard it is to quit. I wish you luck and a wonderful vacation regardless. :)

Hey Bob: thanks for the words of wisdom:rolleyes:.

Does anyone know what the 'allotted amount' is? I purchased 5 cartons on our last cruise, and I was thinking of doubleing or tripeling that on our next cruise. We noted the 5 cartons on our customs form, but that didn't trigger any fees when we returned to the US. I'm guessing there must be some threshold?
