Muckyduckway Posted October 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Is there a shop/store/counter onboard where you can buy the kinds of things one is likely to forget when packing? I've found only mention of boutiques, duty-free and that kind of thing. I am not planning to forget things, but we won't really have the opportunity to pick things up prior to embarking. I'm thinking of the small necessities like toiletries, first-aid, snacks. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhD-iva Posted October 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2023 In the past, the boutiques on the cruises I’ve sailed on had one corner of the boutique dedicated to that kind of stuff. Dunno: toothbrush, toothpaste, yada yada. At exorbitant prices! 🤦♀️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GICNJC Posted October 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2023 There are some, very limited varitey of items, located in the clothing boutique, to right of cash desk, in the corner on shelf facing the door. Not visable from outside the shop. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muckyduckway Posted October 9, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Thanks all. I aim not to need to purchase anything, but it's good to know its there, just in case! There's always Grand Cayman, should the need arise, but I've heard the prices there are somewhat elevated too. We certainly won't NEED to purchase snacks, but for some reason at one point of every vacation we just crave chocolate or a salty snack 😜 Edited October 9, 2023 by Muckyduckway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about the pillow chocolates.

I was surprised that, given the abundance of photos posters have kindly provided, there hasn't been any of the shop interiors (at least none that I've seen!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t you just take what brand you use? Or are you thinking May be able to find something new? I’m confused. But then again, cosmetics are out of my area of expertise.

If one waits till the last minute, then it's on them. That obvious statement aside, yes there will be items that you mentioned available. They would be available on virtually ANY cruise ship. The price however is at a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
