Shopping Queston
Only 4 more days till we depart on the Mariner of the Seas to the western
caribbean. We'll be making stops at CocoCay, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. My wife and son have informed me that they'd like to purchase new watches on this trip. I'm curious to know which island will offer the best deals?? TIA, Sandy K. |

Cozumel. They have an abundance of jewelry stores and the folks will
"wheel and deal" with you. Although someone told me Ochos Rios was pretty good price wise. I didn't care for the area that much and wasn't looking for jewelry.

Shopping Queston
Sandy, a couple of Western Caribbean cruises ago, we were told by one of those
port and shopping guides that Ocho Rios was the best stop on the itinerary for watches. Not sure whether or not to trust the info (considering the source), we did extensive checking and price comparisons. Turned out she was right, and we scored a great deal on a Raymond Weil (not the highest end, but just what I was looking for). You should know your prices before you go, and be prepared to bargain hard. ~ Peri Sandy K. wrote: Only 4 more days till we depart on the Mariner of the Seas to the western caribbean.

I got a 3 ATM digital watch to use when I snorkel. I bought it aboard ms Veendam (HAL) in the shopping arcade. Cost $10.00. Sometimes the best shopping deals are right on the ship. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
