Does Carnival Cruise Sell Cigarettes?

Cigarette smoking is permitted on most cruise ships, including electronic cigarettes and personal vaporizers. However, there are restrictions on purchasing duty-free cigarettes on board. Some cruise lines may have a store selling cigarettes and other goods, including alcoholic drinks. When bringing cigarettes on a Carnival cruise, it is important to ensure they are properly packaged and stored to prevent damage or unwanted odor transfer.

Carnival cruise ships offer at least one designated smoking area on board. Smoking is prohibited in all guest staterooms, except for staterooms and suites, which are entirely smoke-free. This policy applies to all forms of smoking, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaporizers, electronic cigarettes, and marijuana. Some Royal Caribbean ships also have duty-free shops selling cigarettes.

Cigarette packs can be purchased individually, but the cartons are often cheaper than single packs. Duty-free purchases during your cruise are subject to regulations, including purchases made on board the ship or in a port of call. On Carnival ships, they do not hold duty-free cigarette purchases until disembarkation.

Cigarette smoking is generally allowed on cruise ships, with no accompanying articles being forwarded in bond or imported for others or for sale. Age restrictions on board and locations where smoking can be done are also subject to the tobacco and marijuana smoking policy (U.S.).

What happens if I bring more than 200 cigarettes to the USA?

Tobacco Products. Returning resident travelers may import tobacco products only in quantities not exceeding the amounts specified in the personal exemptions for which the traveler qualifies (not more than 200 cigarettes and 100 cigars if arriving from other than a beneficiary country and insular possession). Any quantities of tobacco products not permitted by a personal exemption are subject to detention, seizure, penalties, abandonment, and destruction. Tobacco products are typically purchased in duty-free stores, on sea carriers operating internationally or in foreign stores. These products are usually marked “Tax Exempt. For Use Outside the United States,” or “U.S. Tax Exempt For Use Outside the United States.”

For example, a returning resident is eligible for the $800 duty-free personal exemption every 31 days, having remained for no less than 48 hours beyond the territorial limits of the United States except U.S. Virgin Islands, in a contiguous country which maintains free zone or free port, has remained beyond the territorial limits of the United States not to exceed 24 hours. This exemption includes not more than 200 cigarettes and 100 cigars:

  • If the resident declares 400 previously exported cigarettes and proves American Goods Returning (AGR), the resident would be permitted or allowed to bring back his AGR exempt from Customs duty.
  • If the resident declares 400 cigarettes, of which 200 are proven AGR or previously exported and 200 not AGR or not previously exported, the resident would be permitted to bring back his 200 previously exported cigarettes tax and Internal Revenue Tax (IRT) free under his exemption.
  • The tobacco exemption is available to each adult 21 years of age or over.

Can I bring a carton of cigarettes on a Carnival cruise?

1. US customs has information stating that the maximum number of cigarettes is 200 per person. When I read the information available on US customs website, I’m unclear if you can declare more than the 200 and pay the duty for the overage, or if they will simply confiscate anything over 200.

2. We’ll be on Carnival Spirit. I know they hold alcohol until the end of the cruise, but are you allowed to take cigarettes at the time of purchase?

3. What was the onboard price of cigarettes (Newport), when you were last onboard and when was that?

Can you buy cigarettes on cruise ships?

The most popular duty-free items on cruises are bottles of liquor, cigarettes, and jewelry. You can also often find makeup, purses, clothing, chocolate, and a variety of luxury goods. Today, most shops offer a variety of shopping experiences while onboard from the fan favorite logo shop or brand boutiques such as Kate Spade, EFFY, Longines, and many more.

Three words: do your research! If you know there’s something you might like to buy ahead of time, do your due diligence online or in local stores before your cruise and write down the prices you find so that you can compare once onboard. If you find something once you’re on the ship that you’re wondering about, you can buy some internet time to look it up or wait until you’re in a port and find a wifi connection. One thing to keep an eye on is deals and promotions. Using bottles of liquor as an example, sometimes the price of a single bottle will still be better than you might find at home, but an even better deal could be getting two for a better price than if you were to buy the same two bottles separately. Also, pay attention to the size of the bottles you’re interested in. Maybe the price doesn’t look like a good deal compared to what you’ll find at home until you realize this is actually a 1-liter bottle and your local liquor store has 750 ml ones. Like anything else, not all alcohol will be a good deal, so do your research.

Steer clear of toiletries and medication unless you absolutely need them, as these items are easily double on the ship as what you’d pay on land. The best line of defense against being forced to purchase essentials is using a thorough cruise packing list while packingso you don’t forget anything you need. If you’re prone to seasickness, don’t forget about packing your favorite go-to medication or sea bands. Some ships do offer complimentary seasick meds, but don’t count on it.

How many cartons of cigarettes can you bring into the US?
