misseskb Posted July 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Similar threads have been started but are out dated. There is great alcohol that can be purchased on board the ships and in ports that are not available in the states. What are some of your favorites that you make sure to bring home from your cruise?

Butterfly625 Posted July 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2014 "Hennessy Pure White" not available in the states to our knowledge. We don't share that with many, keep it in the special vault only cause we can't get more until the next cruise! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corts2c Posted July 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I saw Biscotti flavored Baileys Irish Cream on one cruise but I didn't buy it thinking I could get it back home. WRONG! So I had to book another cruise Feb. 2015 in order to get a bottle.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLACRUISER99 Posted July 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2014 anything Cuban but you cannot bring it back to the States either :cj Your post made me chuckle as I once purchased a bottle of Havana Club on a cruise. I was extremely nervous about getting through US customs. Got home locked at the bottle and it said bottled in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squadron Posted July 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sheridan's in the black and white bottle. Available in Canada if you live near border or do cruise from Vancouver or from NE to Maritimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacsmom Posted July 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sheridans!!!. I cannot wait to get another bottle in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebl Posted July 17, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Available in Canada if you live near border or do cruise from Vancouver or from NE to Maritimes. I am almost at the end of Florida. Quite a far distance from Canada. Just out of curiosity, what does a bottle of Sheridans cost in Canada? I do have friends who come here in the winter.

thegima Posted July 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Good thread! I'm doing a western route in 2 months so I'll be picking up a bottle of something new! Can't wait to see what else is posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onessa Posted July 17, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sorry, I don't care much about liquor -- but what I come home with is European Nutella. No made with "skim milk", etc. -- in Europe Nutella is a treat and does not pretend to be good for you :D We also end up bringing home some of the Kinder Surprise eggs for the kids -- they are a plastic capsule containing a little toy inside a chocolate egg "shell". The toys are generally a tiny "build it yourself" kit and most are pretty cool. While you can get most Kinder products at specalty shops in the US, the US FDA "outlawed" them years back as a potential choking hazzard. They are widely available in Canada.

EatonDoolittle Posted July 17, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Guavaberry Rum St Maartin only, to the best of my knowledge. Not available on board, which was what the OP asked, but thought I'd add it anyway. It has a big fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufferto Posted July 17, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Just out of curiosity, what does a bottle of Sheridans cost in Canada? I do have friends who come here in the winter. $32.75 CAD, for a 750 ml bottle, taxes included (about 30.50 USD using todays exchange rate). This is the current price in Quebec. Different provinces will have different pricing. Sometimes it will go on sale for a few dollars off. Here is the link to the provincial liquor commission: http://www.saq.com/page/en/saqcom/boisson-a-la-creme/sheridans-original/625756?selectedIndex=1&searchContextId=-10021715114199 Duty free shops at most major Canadian airports should carry this, for probably a lot cheaper, and they may carry a 1-litre bottle. It actually came as a surprise to me to find out through these boards that this is not available in the US.

Rare mtsublueraider Posted July 17, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If you're ever in Jamaica, you've got to try to get the Sangster's Rum Cream. It's my GO TO whenever I'm there. Just got back form an AI vacation and brought 4 bottles back! I can't remember if it's in the Falmouth port store, but I've got to think it is. YUM.

Evilgrin72 Posted July 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Guavaberry RumSt Maartin only, to the best of my knowledge. Not available on board, which was what the OP asked, but thought I'd add it anyway. It has a big fan base. 1st thing I thought of. Every time I go there, I get 3-4 bottles and then try to make them last a few years until I go back. Currently on my last 1/2 bottle and probably not going to be back in St. Maarten until 2016 at the soonest. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
