cinnamon Posted August 1, 2018 #426 Share Posted August 1, 2018 We are fortunate to be booked on Pursuit for the Rio to Lisbon Voyage next March but were quite keen after seeing her yesterday to book for another Pursuit cruise, maybe for 2020. Unfortunately the pricing is beyond our budget so will not be able to take advantage of yesterday’s offer.

Nuts4pi Posted August 1, 2018 #430 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Everyone, My husband, Mike, & I are considering the NYE in Rio cruise on the Pursuit. Does anyone know whether or not the shops on board will carry tobacco & alcohol products (like they do on the Quest)? Does the Pursuit have a smoking section on the pool deck (like they have on the Journey & Quest)? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Nuts4pi Posted August 2, 2018 #432 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Jean, this is the smoking section. Photo taken yesterday morning. I did see that picture on on of the threads, so I thank you for confirming the smoking area exists. What about the availability of tobacco products & alcohol purchases from the shops? Are they available on the Pursuit? Thanks again! Jean :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarn Posted August 2, 2018 #434 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi, I don’t think that Journey or Quest have ever sold tobacco or alcohol on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted August 2, 2018 #435 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi, I don’t think that Journey or Quest have ever sold tobacco or alcohol on board They definitely did sell Alcohol but that was in the early years (the good old days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuts4pi Posted August 2, 2018 #436 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi, I don’t think that Journey or Quest have ever sold tobacco or alcohol on board We were on the Quest in January. They had a shop that sold duty-free alcohol (not for onboard consumption) & cigarettes. The shop is on the Spirits Lounge end, on the same side as Indulgences.

excitedofharpenden Posted August 2, 2018 #437 Share Posted August 2, 2018 You can buy cigarettes from behind the bar. They are kept at the Pool Bar. From memory $5.50 a packet. Marlboro Light or Gold. Certainly no shop on Quest selling alcohol. There’s only Quest Shop one side and Indulgencies the other. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on it in January and the shop was there at the far end (you'd almost miss it if you weren't looking for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are thinking of the table outside the shop which displayed bottles of drink which you could get in a drinks package.

Mrs Miggins Posted August 2, 2018 #440 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just a note to those who were so impressed by Pursuit yesterday. I have tried to get a quote from the booking line. I have been on the (paid) phone line for nearly 30 minutes. They are having difficulty coming up with a price. I will wait for a call back.I really love Azamara but sometimes I want to shake them. Well, it all came good in the end thanks to the wonderful Richard Twynam. All booked for a lovely cruise next May on this splendid ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on it in January and the shop was there at the far end (you'd almost miss it if you weren't looking for it). I’m just back from a month on there. Never saw it. I can’t see it serves any purpose when you can bring on as much alcohol (within storage limitations) as you want to. There isn’t one on Journey either.

Nuts4pi Posted August 2, 2018 #444 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I was on Quest in January and there was no drinks shop. Maybe you are thinking of the table outside the shop which displayed bottles of drink which you could get in a drinks package. Nope. We were on the 04-Jan-2018 11-night Panama Canal/Costa Rica cruise on the Quest. I bought 2 cartons of cigarettes at the shop (but didn't buy any alcohol). The shop WAS there when we were on board. As a matter of fact, on my recent Baltic cruise (June) on the Journey, I asked where the shop was to buy cigarettes by the carton. I was told, "this is the Journey, not the Quest." Felt a bit foolish, LOL! :-P Edited August 2, 2018 by Nuts4pi Adding info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trend Posted August 4, 2018 #445 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can you bring on bottles of wine for consumption on board in your roo. We will be visiting a winery in Montevideo during a stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelma600 Posted August 4, 2018 #446 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Absolutely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted August 4, 2018 #447 Share Posted August 4, 2018 As much as you like. If you want to drink it in a public room there’s a $10 a bottle corkage charge, but no charge if you drink it in your cabin.
