Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the only Rolex ad on board any cruise ship in the world.

The Rolex shop is unique in that it's appointment only.

The watches here are not pre-owned. They're not CPOS where they're doubling or tripling the prices on the watch.

I didn't see anything that was totally interesting for me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Line up on the first day to book an appointment for the Rolex shop.
✓Calculate the 4% markup against your local sales taxes to see if it's worth buying on the ship.
✓Be aware that you cannot use shipboard credits for Rolex purchases; pay with a credit card.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

High markup and import duties — Calculate the 4% markup against local taxes; it may be more expensive than buying on land.
Limited stock of high-demand models — They get infrequent shipments; Daytonas and Submariners sell out quickly.
