Rare Essiesmom Posted April 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2019 You might also ask on the Ports of Call board for Caribbean. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they sell the bottles of rum as well...or just the cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookwife Posted April 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Each port will have a shop. Flavor selection will vary. Some day I WILL find the ginger one again. And buy them out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbum Posted April 17, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I am hoping to buy the bottles of rum while in one of these ports if possible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted April 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Princess sells both in duty free shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingUnicorn Posted April 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 17, 2019 St. Martin/St. Maarten is known for their Guava berry Rum. There's a shop within walking distance from the port where you can purchase it. All different flavors and such. Can also buy cakes soaked in it. IMO, Tortuga Rum is overplayed. You don't even have to travel to buy it. Not the case for Guava Berry rum. You can only purchase it there. I don't even know if it's available on the other islands like most of the alcohol.

slidergirl Posted April 17, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 17, 2019 If you end in San Juan, the duty free store at the airport sells the cakes. Along with some excellent Puerto Rican rum not available in the US. They will package your rum in the TSA-compliant bags so you can take it home through however many TSA checkpoints you need to traverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo59r Posted April 18, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I don't know about distribution in your area, but Tortuga is common here locally. You will find a lot of interesting rum across the Caribbean that is far less common. I would encourage you to shop around and possibly splurge for a nice bottle of something with some age to it.

richbum Posted April 25, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I ended up calling Tortuga and they said that I could buy bottles of rum in St. Thomas and St. Marteen...but did not have the name of the shops to buy it. I guess I'll be looking around when I get there...Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
