Duty Free Stores on Escape

I was wondering if anyone could tell me any of the deals that may be offered in the duty free stores on liquor? Heading to Miami tomorrow to set sail on Saturday!

Our Favorite on cruise ships is Sheridan's, since we can not buy it here in the USA. Its coffee and White Chocolate flavored liquor

 

I love it and always bring 2 bottles back.

I can't recall much. Meyers Dark Rum is $15/bottle, which is a really good price for us. Here it's about $22/bottle. Same price at a few liquor stores in St. Thomas. Overall for all the liquor, we've generally found $5-15/bottle savings (then the duty free savings) when you look at the same sized bottle here.

 

The biggest discrepancy we found in duty free pricing on board vs. on an island was a Johnny Walker sampler pack. It was about $20 cheaper at a port store in St. Maarten than it was on the ship. I'm sure ship price was still better than our US price, though.

We were on the inaugural 7 day sailing back in November. It was only our 2nd cruise. We had never heard, seen or tasted Sheridan until a tasting in the atrium. What a pleasant surprise. We immediately bought two bottles. It's been a big hit with all our friends who have never tasted it either.
