7 things you should NEVER buy on a cruise ship!

Editorial Summary

Jenna from Cruise Blog provides a guide on seven specific items travelers should avoid purchasing while on a cruise ship to prevent overspending. She begins by advising against buying watches and gold jewelry, noting that onboard sales often lack the true value found online or on land. The creator also suggests looking for spa treatments at ports of call rather than on the ship to avoid high costs and mandatory gratuities. For health needs, she recommends building a personal first aid kit before departure to avoid inflated prices and limited inventory for over the counter medications. Regarding consumer electronics, she warns that the difficulty of managing warranties and exchanges outweighs potential duty free savings. The video also cautions travelers about purchasing art at onboard auctions, as pricing may not reflect true market value. Additionally, she highlights that sunscreen is significantly more expensive on ships and at private islands compared to retailers like Amazon or Walmart. Finally, the creator advises against buying souvenir beverage cups, suggesting that travelers instead opt for items with more long term value like ship models.
