I bought a bottle of Bailey’s last year because it was quite a bit cheaper than my local NYC store. Last month I bought a couple of bottles of rum & tequila because NCL mistakenly gave me some onboard credit! Most of the time the prices don’t seem like much of a bargain.

To clarify it’s not, “Customs and Border Patrol”. It is “U.S. Customs and Border Protection”.

I purchased a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label Scotch Whiskey on Mardi Gras in Sept. 2020 as a special gift to my son. He has kept it and has just moved into the home he had built, and we took it out of the nice box it was in and noticed that somewhere near the top, there is apparently a leak which has compromised the contents and also damaged the box it which it sat. This is a rather expensive bottle of whiskey. I notified the Grans Ambassador of Carnival (John Heald) and he stated the Duty-Free ships are not owned by Carnival and that I would have to contact the store Manager of that ship too see if anything could be done. I don’t know how to even go about calling store on a ship. I may just have to chalk it up as a loss but has anyone had this issue and if so, how did you fix it or is it something that just can’t be fixed? Any suggestions would be grateful.

Duty Free bubble has burst at Nassau airport. I flew NAS to MIA on Monday and my stop into the Duty Free was a major sticker shock. $84 for a carton of cigarettes. They cost around $65 in Miami. The alcohol was no deal either. I was told they no longer do the duty free tobacco thing.
