In port, where do you shop?

sue miller · 12-10-2006, 07:58 PM

Shopping is a very important part of travel, don't you think!!!!

When I get serious (!!), I check out all the stores. I shop wherever they sell what I like. I don't pay too much attention to whether or not the ship recommends them. Sometimes they are right on and sometimes they are way off. I think they recommend whoever arranges to give them a commission.

Happy shopping!

I avoid the places that the ship suggest. I may go by them to peek in the window or to just see what they are offering. I normally am just looking for t-shirts, coffee, etc. I don't go on vacation to buy the expensive stuff. Although while in Jamaica I did see several watches that I amy have to go back to get (Tissots, Nardin and some brands I wasnt' familiar with).

I look for what I like--don't pay much attention as to whether the ship recommends them or not.

Couldn't vote.

Although we don't shop a lot in the ports, I just buy whatever appeals to me in a shop - sometimes it is a cruise recommended shop and sometimes it isn't.

I look at the ones that the ships recommend, and I also venture out on my own.

I go to the ones the ship recomends some of the time. But I don't do that much shoping anyway. But most of the time I just go from shop to shop. Who cares if it is cruiseline recomened or not.

We do not do too much shopping in the ports.
We may look at some to them but we do not pay attention to weather or not they are recomened
