deadzone1003 Posted March 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2018 We have Singapore as a port of call next month. We plan to pick up some wine at the Duty Free store before returning to the ship. Questions: Is the selection of wine similiar to the ones available at the airport? Are the prices the same or more? Is the store easily accessible?

The cruise terminal at Harbourfront in Singapore is actually a shopping mall with a larger mall (Vivo City) adjacent. I don't recall any duty free stores as such but the mall may have retail liquor stores. Wine is Singapore is always expensive and may be better value purchased on board the ship.

deadzone1003 Posted March 16, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Supposedly, they just opened up last year. When did you last use HarbourFront? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zowie57 Posted March 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Supposedly, they just opened up last year. When did you last use HarbourFront? Harbourfront is still used today for smaller cruise ships although most now depart from Marina Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted March 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Harbourfont is definitely listed as a location on the DFS website https://www.dfs.com/en/singapore/stores/dfs-singapore-cruise-centre-harbourfront We used Harbourfront when we sailed on Azamara in Dec 2016 but I don't think DFS was there - we shopped to spend the rest of our SGD at one of the regular grocery stores in the mall after dropping our bags. Azamara includes alcohol so we only brought a little wine for our balcony and a bottle of favorite bourbon - but we brought that with us from the US, just because we could, and we knew alcohol would be quite expensive in SIN. Alas, the website doesn't list prices (or really even a list of goods available - just some higher end options) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadzone1003 Posted March 16, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted March 16, 2018 So no one has been to HarbourFront in the last 6 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted March 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I was at Harbourfront in December and don't recall a Duty Free Store. However, there may have been one. There were lots of shops because it is a shopping centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyaheel Posted March 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The only liquor stores I could find are behind Orchard Ave.. There are plenty of places to buy alcohol in Singapore that aren't near Orchard Rd.....But this question is specifically about duty free. I would probably ask this question on flyertalk. Bigger chance someone has been there lately.....Well, maybe not the port, but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1 Posted March 18, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've just realised Harbourfront and Marina bay are 2 different places.That rules me out,we are embarking at Marina bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted September 18, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Has anyone recently used the Duty Free Store at the HarbourFront terminal before embarking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted November 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Just checking again to see if anyone has used this DFS prior to embarkation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
