susi_q Posted September 1, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Sorry to start another thread, but I've looked and can't find it. Where do you go to find the best prices and selection on St Thomas? Do prices vary between Havensite and downtown? I've seen that the shops in town will deliver to the ship ... ever had a problem getting lost in transit? Thanks. sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michmike Posted September 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2004 We've used AH Riise now 3 times with no problems. They have a good selection and will deliver to your ship (provided you place your order at least 3 hours before sailing time) Their main store is downtown but they also have a branch in the havensight mall. Another option is Al Cohen's discount liquors across from havensight, but I haven't had any personal experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostdart58 Posted September 2, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2004 We that live here in St Thomas buy our liquor in K-Mart, PriceSmart or Cost-U-Less. These places have the best prices overall. There is a K-Mart within a 8 minute walk of the cruise ship dock, but you will have to lug the booze back to the ship yourself. The last poster listed reputible liqour stoes, (Riise's and Al Cohan's) that are in the cruise dock area. Their prices are good and have the largest selection.

katrain Posted September 2, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I agree K-Mart is the cheapest place to buy the alcohol on the island and you can also get your gift for friends and family back in the states there also. Enjoy your trip!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookwise Posted September 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2004 When you buy at Kmart, do they have those sturdy cardboard carriers with handles available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susi_q Posted September 2, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Thanks for the replies ... we're planning to rent a vehicle while there, so we won't have to walk/lug. Is the Kmart easy to find? Could you give directions from Havensite? sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostdart58 Posted September 3, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2004 K-Mart does have the cardboard liquor travel boxes. They may charge $1.00 for it. Directions: Ask the car rental company......(it is real close!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrain Posted September 10, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Susi it's right around the corner u take a left out of havensight at the first "intersection" you'll turn right (you'll see a Peublo supermarket (for a road mark) about 10-20 seconds up the road you'll see K-Mart on your left... If you pass McDonalds you went too far!!!) It's less than a 5 min drive!!!! (Double-check these directions with your car rental company incase something is going on with the roads that day!!!)

sgrissom Posted September 27, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Does anyone know if K-Mart is open on Sundays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coiran Posted September 28, 2004 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2004 If one of your ports is St. Martin - wait toll there to buy liquor - much better prices than St. Thomas. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susi_q Posted September 28, 2004 Author #11 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Thanks - good to know since lately all the St Thomas stops are being changed to St Martin. Any place in particular there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michmike Posted September 29, 2004 #12 Share Posted September 29, 2004 if you're going to buy it in St Maarten, do some checking on duty free situation. You can bring back quite a bit more booze from St Thomas. I don't remember all the ins and outs of it but seems like each person can bring back at least 4 liters from St Thomas. Hasn't been an issue for us as we typically only bring back 4 liters between us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandpthoma Posted February 5, 2005 #15 Share Posted February 5, 2005 does al cohen's have 6,12, or 18 packs of beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan wood Posted February 21, 2005 #16 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The stores at the port in St. Martin were a couple bucks cheaper than St. Thomas. Others that went into Marigot reported it was still cheaper there. Also, when we got back to the ship there were two lines to board. I didn't realize that until I was onboard in the crew's line. It was much quicker and they did not confiscate anything. I didn't have to wait until Saturday night to receive my purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
