marshhawk Posted September 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2014 We have bought a 5 carton box and a three carton box, do the ships sell one carton at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgttami Posted September 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2014 YES and the bars sell single packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted September 9, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted September 9, 2014 but the packs are more expensive-I'm not sailing with another smoker this time, and Dh has informed me he is quitting-so it's just me, and I don't want to bring back a lot of cigarettes of a brand I don't normally smoke.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgttami Posted September 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just off the Splendor this week. A carton of Marlboro is $37.50. A pack of Marlboro at the bar is $5.00.. A bargain, either way...since cigs in NJ are $8.75 a pack and NY is closer to $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonLisa50 Posted September 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Quick question. Can you buy a carton on the ship and be able to smoke them right away or is it like buying a bottle of booze and you can't have it until you dock at the home port? Thanks, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistycruiser Posted September 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you buy cigarettes on the ship you can take them and use them right away. No holding them to the end like they do with the liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonLisa50 Posted September 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thank you Mistycruiser! That's so good to know. Considering cartons on the ship are a lot less than what we pay, I'll just buy mine on the ship instead of bringing them. Saves me money!

iluvit! Posted September 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2014 They added a 15 percent tip (.75) to cig packs sold at the bars on the Magic recently. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshhawk Posted September 10, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Cigarette cartons from the Fun shops wont be available to purchase until you are in "international waters", so if your ship leaves port at 4 in the afternoon, you will be able to buy around 7 or 8 in the evening-don't go on thinking you will be able to buy them that minute, I always bring 3 packs in case of departure debacles.

Rare ncovert Posted September 10, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 10, 2014 FYI the Fun Shops are not open till you leave the port. ... meaning if you think you are going to need to smoke between boarding and seven or eight that night you are probably going to want to bring enough to get you through.

Moonarino Posted September 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Keep in mind the Customs limit. You can only bring back so many with the duty-free stamp. You definitely should be able to buy just 1 carton of any brand in the shop. I usually wait till later. In my experience they almost always drop the prices near the end of the cruise, like maybe Day 5 of a 7-day cruise.

waiting4acruise Posted September 11, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have never seen cigarette prices at the end of the cruise. I have seen cerrain brands run out by the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted September 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The ship nor the ports had Marlboro Menthol full-flavored last week. My partner had to find substitutes the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taters Posted September 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The bars do sell sigle packs right away. You can still be in the embarkation port and purchase them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
