Duty Free Cigarettes on board NCL

Does anyone have any idea of the cost of a carton of cigarettes onboard an NCL cruise, Pall Mall or Marlboro.

Looking to see if it is worth waiting till onboard, or bringing from home.

I know when we sailed on Carnival, they were around $20-$25 per carton, which is way better than $85 up here in Connecticut.

Thx in advance.

It's a WAY better price than in CT (or MA where I'm from.) Don't remember the actual price though.

I don't smoke but friends do so I looked when I cruised last year, I want to say it was about $35 and it got cheaper the more you bought

I second this as regards to Marlboro price......No way will you find Marlboro ONBOARD cheaper than $30 and then you may have to purchase a 4-carton package to get it at that price.

If your first port of call is in Cozumel, they are even cheaper there. I think I got cartons of Marlboro Lights for a friend for $20 a carton.

I don't smoke but my friends do and they always buy there limits of cartoons when they cruise. I also heard Cozumel has the cheapest.

My understanding was that anything you bought in the Duty Free shop onboard could not be opened/used until after the trip. Is that not the case?

Last few cruises, they let you take the cartons of cigarettes. Maybe that part of it has changed. They still don't let you walk out with alcohol.

Just off the Dawn, marb lights were $47.99 per carton. If you bought two then you could get 10% off. If you bought 3 then you get a higher percentage off. Still cheaper than home, but the prices continue to rise each year!

When on the Gem in Feb, there were no Marlboro products on the ship, and they were $35 in St Thomas.

Husband smokes. He went and priced them in the Duty Free shop. They were much cheaper.

I just learned that cigarettes are less expensive on ships sailing out of Miami than those sailing from New York.

Miami prices average $34/carton and if you buy three cartons, you get one free. New York prices are about $48/per from what I was told.

4 cartons for $128.00 FYI you can claim extra cigarettes and take as many home as you like, just make sure to claim them (they can confiscate all of them if you do not claim them on the form) the extra cartons are $10.00 duty, sometimes they charge it, sometimes they don’t. Still well worth picking up extras to bring home.

Thx for the info.....I think we will be buying onboard, & in Cozumel.

Just a comment on buying cigarettes in Mexico, it is my understanding that cigarettes sold in Mexico are manufactured in Mexico and do not taste the same as their USA equivalents. My suggestion would be to buy one pack and try it before buying in bulk.

You can buy single packs in certain bars onboard

I believe the price for single packs is around $5, maybe a little less.

Does anyone recently cruising know if Duty Free stocks American Spirit cigarettes? My wife was sold the lie that they are a "healthier" alternative. We leave in 4 days and trying to decide if I bring a carton or gamble the ship or Cozumel

You mean like this one?

The Gem did not sell them in March, but we found them on St Kitts, Antigua, and Barbados...that doesn't really answer your question for Cozumel, but we did find them on islands...

Really appreciate the prompt response. Will just split the difference, bring 5 packs and hope for Cozumel or Duty Free day 2. Maybe even convert her to Marlboros so I save $3 a day when she gets home, lol.:p:p :p:p
