Rare Tom O. Posted March 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yes there is, but you will pay premium prices there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladypalmtree Posted March 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Try and anticipate any needs before the cruise...over the counter products, sun products..camera's etc...The prices are quite high and you can't be sure you will be able to obtain the things you need in port..have a good cruise...Laurie:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray-Barbara Posted March 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I see you are going on the Sapphire Mexican Riviera cruise. Your first stop will be Puerto Varrata. Across the street from the dock is a Wal-Mart and a Sam's Club you can go to if you forgot something onboard the ship and need to load up. We bought a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke for $1.55. Things are much cheaper onshore than on the ship. Ray and Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted March 23, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You may want to check out the packing lists (on cruise rituals here and on ***************). I usually put some tylenol, sudafed, antihistimine, etc. in a ziploc bag. Just think of the little store on the ships as being like a 7/11 but with even higher prices. Plus, I wouldn't trust the viability of the meds -- they may be close to the expiration dates if they've been on the shelf for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsheldon88 Posted March 23, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I found the Sapphire's stock of miscellaneous (toothpaste, stomach remedies, cold remedies, etc.) to be reasonable. It was more complete and less expensive than most major hotels. True it was much more expensive than your local drugstore, but you don't have to feel like you are out of luck if you have an "emergency." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
