More Shopping?

[3Sisters]

Although cruise lines are changing lots of their offerings in order to financially recover post shut-down, several cruise lines are also expanding their retail offerings. The retailer Harding has just announced partnerships with 5 different cruise lines! Do you think its is a tactic to encourage guests to spend more, assisting with monetary gains?

Sure definitely!  I'd shop because it is duty-free.  There is a duty-free allowance though, so when I go home, there generally is a dollar value of purchases that is duty-free.  I think it is $1000??  I am not quite sure, so do not quote me.  I will buy on sale days and after I checked the price online.  I generally buy 1-2 items usually a bag or jewelry if its really on sale

@3Sisters I think shopping a smart way for cruise lines to financially recover after the loss they have encountered. I'm always prone to spend more on vacation!

@DeanneBDuty-free is certainly a perk of shopping onboard a cruise ship! I think if there wasn't a cap guests would buy so much more.

@DeanneB What is your usual go to for duty-free shopping? I tend to spend on gifts for family members, such as their favorite liquor or some fun fashion jewelry.

@3Sisters I love shopping duty-free jewelry while cruising.
