Creator's Key Takeaways

They operate retail on almost every cruise ship in the world.

That duty-free pricing, it's a scam.

You're not getting a deal. You're paying full price or more for the convenience of shopping on a boat.

Every ship, same stores, same markup, same companies profiting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid buying watches or jewelry on cruise ships; prices are inflated.
Compare duty-free prices with authorized dealers on land before purchasing.
Be skeptical of 'last day sale' or 'port day special' discounts.
