Airport duty free question please

[Conniemc]

Can I buy and take Duty Free purchases when landing in Italy? Or is it the other way around? I've only needed to buy duty free cigarettes once in an airport, and I can't recall whether I couldn't have them because I was staying or leaving. I'm used to Celebrity, where you can buy cartons of duty free Newports on board and TAKE THEM and smoke them!! The other lines "hold" them until you disembark.

Rome is the only city large enough to carry Newports, and I'm afraid if I can't pick them up there, I won't find them elsewhere.

LEAVING IN TWO DAYS - HELP!

Never mind - no one ever here, so googled it

"You can usually shop in duty-free stores only immediately before you leave a country (including your own country); when travelling by air, you're usually asked to show your boarding pass as proof that you're about to take a flight out of the country."

A question better suited for Cruise & Travel Chat

Hey, the new site is difficult enough without being berated for posting a question! Give us a DELETE POST option and problem solved!

Not a reprimand, simply a suggestion that posting the question on the Cruise & Travel Chat
might garner more responses in a shorter time than on the less frequented forums such as this one. As far as navigation, start at the forum index

and post the question.

Bob, I can't even find the text formatting, my notifications aren't arriving, etc. I just found several pals responded to me a week ago...never got notification. When I get private messages, nothing. I'm only on here briefly because I'm setting sail again...no time to reinvent the wheel for me, but thanks anyway.

Back to normal!
