Buy liquor on boat's duty free shop or at port

[Jimi123]

I purchased 2 one liter bottles of Jack Daniels for $40 in the boats duty free shop. Would I have found a significantly better deal shopping around when the ship was in port in Nassau?

Next time, check the price in the ship's duty free shop. Then go ashore and see the price.

Use the first night to scope prices on the ship (and make sure to note sizes), then go ashore and check some of the duty free or local shops. In my experience, JD and other American whiskeys do not have that great of of a duty-free markdown anywhere. I'm not sure what your local pricing is, but I can get 750 ml of JD for about $18-20 locally ... while a little cheaper on the ship, packing and flying it home is not worth it for me, though your experience will of course be different.
