serena_17 Posted September 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi, We're sailing on the Rhapsody in November and I have a question about shopping on board: What can we buy on board in terms of duty free and how do prices compare with on-shore? We're thinking in terms of ipods (Christmas presents) and cameras. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flsun Posted September 30, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Just returned from the Adventure of the Seas and was surprised to see that NO RETURNS are made onboard. In all the years I've shopped on board, I've only returned one thing - no problem. Now, all jewelry must be sent to their office in Miami for reimbursement. A lady at our table tried to return something after just 4 hours and was told she had to mail it to Miami. Lesson learned - the "100% guarantee" is still in place through their home office and your efforts. Shop wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixCruiser Posted September 30, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Do research on prices before your cruise. Sometimes they are not the cheapest. Look into warranties as well. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serena_17 Posted September 30, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi, Thanks for getting back to me - I think I'll get the camera etc, beforehand and only rely on the onboard stores for perfumes and perhaps some jewellery ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
