Who buys jewelry/watches on a cruise?
I just got back from a Carnival Cruise. The ship had a shop with high-end watches. There was a jewelry store too (I suspect there was high-end stuff in there). What’s the deal with that? I couldn’t understand why they would use up real estate on the ship for it. Obviously the cruise line is making a profit off of it, but why would a consumer make such a big ticket purchase on a cruise other than it being tax free? The only other thing I could think of is people being intoxicated —impulse/poor judgement shoppers. submitted by /u/DPool34 [link]
