Cigarette prices in cruise ports?

Question

Has anybody recently cruised to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman or Cozumel that happens to know the price of cigarettes in each of those countries? I'd hate to pass up a great deal in one place because I'm holding out for a later port and then find the prices aren't as good.

Answer 1

We took this itinerary during spring break.  A few members of our group were smokers...

They did not purchase the smokes while in port...they actually got a good deal purchasing the smokes on-board this ship.  As I recall, the cost of a carton of smokes on-board was about 1/2 of what it is on land.

However, there are some limitations on the number of cartons of smokes a person can bring back into the U.S. without a duty tax.

From a point of reference, Cozumel seemed to have the best prices while shopping....Grand Cayman is the highest.
