The shopping is good in the Islands..make sure you bargain with the vendors at the open market..Cardinal rule..if you REALLY want it ,BUY It,..more than once..thoought I'll go back..=sad and it was gone..On Jewelry..expensive stuff really bargain if not happy with quote WALK Away..they'll come down even more..Princess sells nice semi-precious stones loose for 10.00/carat weight.....they are not world class gem quality but nice ..my uncle the jeweler sets them and says that I always get nice color and clarity..it's amazing how reasonable they are. the ship jewelry stores are competitive versus the islands..compare and research the ones you like...enjoy..The perfumes and linens are a good price down there..I adore Princess as it's the only cruise line I've sailed so far..afraid to risk and be diappointed elsewhere..Have fun..:wave....:daisy..Joanne
