RC cigarette prices on ovation on NZ cruise

[nbhwarrior]

hi can anyone tell me the price of a carton of cigarettes on RC ovation NZ cruise

 

As price in Aus is expensive

 

Please no replies about stopping thanks

I’m not a smoker but my sister didn’t think they were a bargain about half the price of Sydney she said.

I think if they were free it would be too expensive.

Cigarettes are also expensive in NZ. Another thing to consider is the amount you can take ashore with you free of duty. I stand to be corrected but I think that nowadays its only one packet of 20. Any you buy on board will have to be smoked on board to enjoy the duty freeedom or a duty paid on the rest of the Carton you take with you.

Yes it’s only 1 packet

Travellers to New Zealand

 

Duty-free tobacco is limited to:

 

 

• 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or tobacco products or
  
• 50 grams of a mixture of all three
  
• For each person
  

 

And I think Aussie is the same

[PerfectlyPerth]

Aus is not the same as NZ. It was reduced to 25 cigs some time ago.

I will be on ovation in a bit over a week.the 21st  post and I will answer.

US$4.50 for 20 Malbro a couple of weeks ago on the Seabourn Encore sailing from Bali to Sydney

Your ship should be about the same price I would guess

[MicCanberra]

Enjoy chiliburn.

[Chiliburn]

I’m not a smoker but I don’t think it’s a bargain.

 We are enjoying,slept like a baby last night.the roll of the ship seems to put you into a deep sleep.

[MicCanberra]

As long as sleeping like a baby doesn't mean wetting yourself, that sounds great.

I haven't had a decent night sleep for over three weeks now, (not since getting off the Explorer OTS.)

I will ,there’s a wine bar called vintages which did have a good display of cigars.

Have you worked out what deck your cabin is on.because there’s only 2 smoking areas.

one on deck 5 and 14.They are very strict.$100US fine or cleaning change as they call it.

 I’ve seen people who love their cigarette and have a long walk down a corridor then have to wait for a lift .not a pleasant experience. I felt for them.

Thanks chilburn, I really appreciate this, the duty on bringing in cigars ( and cigarettes) into Australia is very expensive, I really enjoy a evening cigar while cruising just trying to work the most cost effective way of getting cigars , hence why I’d really appreciate youfinding out what cigars ( brands) they have on board ( in the bars and shops) if you can, and how much they are so really appreciate your help

 

Hope you having a fantastic time, what’s the weather, ship, food and service like?

 

i think we are on deck 7

 

🙏🏻
