I look For crafts that locals make

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

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.
