sharvy Posted November 5, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi my wife and I are heading to the Caribbean this Friday with P&O for 2 weeks. I have a few questions - I'm also new to forums so if you could bear with me. I want to but a watch and I know the make,model and price here in the UK - where is the best place to buy? My wife was thinking about buying a diamond ring - would you recommend anywhere or don't take the risk? Re casual evening wear for gents - is it worth taking any long-slieved shirts or will it be too warm on board. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASPALL Posted November 5, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2007 It might be cold on board - it all depends on the air conditioning. Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monocled Mutineer Posted November 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2007 My wife says "go for it" but haggle. Branches of the chain "Columbian Diamonds" on most islands. The price will halve - then say it's too much - and then start to walk away - the price will then drop further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebore Posted November 6, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi my wife and I are heading to the Caribbean this Friday with P&O for 2 weeks. I have a few questions - I'm also new to forums so if you could bear with me.I want to but a watch and I know the make,model and price here in the UK - where is the best place to buy? Without a doubt St Maarten, it has the lowest taxes amongst the Caribbean islands. This is the place were the crew buy. Shop away from the tender piers the shops get cheaper My wife was thinking about buying a diamond ring - would you recommend anywhere or don't take the risk? Again St Maarten, shop around, in our experience price should be about a third of UK prices. Re casual evening wear for gents - is it worth taking any long-slieved shirts or will it be too warm on board. With the aircon. it can get quite chilly on board, I take long sleeved shirts for this reason. Hope this helps Cb Many thanks Oceana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
