perditax Posted September 20, 2015 #51 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Would love it if folks on upcoming cruises would check out the stores and mention if they are stocking the NEW iPad minis. (It would be considered the iPad Mini 4.) Also, I'm pretty new to cruising--can anyone confirm that I can use ANY OBC for purchases of goods onboard? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just not sure how 'real' the OBC you get from the cruise line is. I know some of it is refundable (from TAs, etc) and some maybe not so much.

Iamcruzin Posted September 20, 2015 #52 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The ships stores report items sold onboard that are over the allowance to customs. A friend of mine discovered that when the bell rang on her card when she debarked with an expensive watch she bought at one of the ships shops. Customs was unhappy that she had not declared it..... The same thing happened on a Princess Ship. When I purchased my son's laptop ($1500) on board I charged it to a different credit card that wasn't linked to my on board account. Took it out of the box and set it up on board. I carried it off of the ship and through customs without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordoncruickshank Posted September 20, 2015 #53 Share Posted September 20, 2015 As long as you are happy to leave the packaging behind, watches are easy to wear. I usually travel with a few of them so who knows when you buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted September 20, 2015 #54 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Sorry, is this thread now about smuggling! i.e. importing goods but not paying the relevant duty and tax? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted September 20, 2015 #55 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Do all of the Celebrity ships have an Apple store? We will be on the Reflection in April and it might be a good time to replace my old iPad 2. All ships except Century.

FreestyleNovice Posted September 21, 2015 #57 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I thought it's supposed to be the Xpedition to be the exception (being too small for an iLounge/Apple reseller point)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
