Shopping on the Azamara Quest

The Azamara Quest has three shops, which are located mid ship on Deck 5. These are:

• The Photo Shop- has a few cameras and accessories
• Indulgences- a boutique with luxury watches and jewelry
• Azamara Quest Shop-  has Azamara logo wear, smart casual clothing, cigarettes, souvenirs, Swarovski jewelry, candy, sundries, and toiletries.

The prices are all over the spectrum -- great on liquor and cigarettes, generally good on watches, expensive on sundry items. When the ship is at sea, you will not have to pay a sales tax -- purchases are duty free.

Also popular is the Art Auction At Sea where you can purchase collectible art while onboard the Azamara Quest. See the tip below regarding some consideration you should give before you purchase art onboard your cruise.

Azamara Quest Shopping Tips:

• The liquor deals are excellent. However, keep in mind limits on what you can bring back into the country per US Customs regulations. Also, liquor bought at the ship's store cannot be consumed during your cruise -- you will be given the liquor you purchased during disembarkation.
• No, you can't bring Cuban Cigars back into the U.S. if you are U.S. citizen even through you can buy them in a foreign port. But you can smoke them in the appropriate areas on the ship.
• While not a guarantee, many items go on sale on the last day of the cruise.
• It has been reported that several companies running  art auctions on cruise ships will provide an appraisal with their art that will lead you to believe that you are getting very good value. There are those with opinions that the appraisal methods are questionable. So, if you are inclined to buy something at one of these auctions, a common sense approach to avoid feeling like you got ripped off is to never buy thinking you will make a profit, buy the art because it suits your tastes and budget.
• ATMs are available on the ship that does cost an additional fee.
