Thank you We went to that one about 10 years ago and not sure of the name of the street but if you go up past the park and about 5 blocks from the terminal and turn left into a street and if they haven’t moved when we went there and bought duty free alcohol and cigarettes you had to have your passport or you couldn’t buy any items, not sure if it’s changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted March 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2023 There is a Marlene duty free directly across the road from the cruise terminal. I have no idea what their current range or prices are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn left into the left street and Marlene's is on the next corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Evon just what I needed all I require now is an idea of their prices I found Princess quite expensive last week and almost out of good stuff No brandy at all and only 2 cointrau on board I hope Carnival is better in case I cannot make Marlene We are spoiled after visiting Vila ( Vokda 1 lt $15 at K F and $27.50 on Princess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted March 9, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2023 From what I have seen, Princess duty free alcohol prices are not much better than Dan Murphys. With all ships, there is also the issue of a limited range. The couple of times we went to Marlenes, I was quite disappointed. The prices shown on the shelf were OK, but they had hardly any stock. Their excuse was that there had been a couple of ships kin port. Wouldn't that always be the case??? Wouldn't they know ahead what the shipping schedule is???

possum52 Posted March 9, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Marlene is situated at 42 rue de l’Alma, Nouméa. I have underlined the name on the map in the top right hand corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resordanis Posted March 9, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I did think Marlenes had moved from the old spot. Last time we were in Noumea they had a new shop opposite the cruise terminal. I cannot use perfume, but remember going there for alcohol. There is also another in town too, but the name escapes me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor26 Posted March 9, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thank you everyone I will try their facebook page and see if I get anywhere with that otherwise it may ne buying on the ship It has to be a little cheaper than Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windsor26 Posted March 9, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Just received a reply from Facebook Bonjour, nous ne vendons pas d'alcool. Bonne journée à vous I am surprised I thought booze would have given them a good profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor26 Posted March 10, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted March 10, 2023 On the other unnamed site a cruiser advised 3 weeks ago he visited 42 re de l'alma and purchased 6 litres of booze for $163 so obviously they are two different shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted March 11, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Perhaps they are not allowed to promote or discuss alcohol online, as their website also has no mention of it. I just had a look at a goggle streetview image from January taken from outside the cruise terminal. The shopfront of Marlene's has liquor and tobacco listed on it, yet no mention of lingerie or parfum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
