can drugstore items be purchased on ship?

I'm assuming they sell sunscreen. Do they also have the seasafe, wrist bracelets, bonine, advil, etc. so that if I don't plan to pack it now, but need it later it could be purchased on board?

There was quite the selection there, actually, I was impressed - I don't know about the SeaSafe and wrist bands, but they did have Bonine, Advil, Tylenol, etc. We had to buy hair elastics because my DD and I fought over the only one that I found at the bottom of my purse! *grin*

Sell a small but well thought out supply of drug store items. I do not think they stock sea safe. Definitely motion meds, sunscreen, toothburshes etc. Sea Bands I don't remember. I had to buy a bottle of cough medicine for DD and paid like $15 so try to bring anything you may end up needing. I believe it was located in Treasure Catch?

Another thing to consider is that the shops on the ships are not opened while in port, only when at sea. So, if you REALLY need something RIGHT AWAY, you might not be able to get it. I'd pack most items you'd think you'd need to be safe.

Remember that supplies bought on board aren't sold at Wal-Mart prices (hee hee). It's there if you forget something, but we plan on bringing most supplies.


Yes, they have a very reasonable selection of needed items like sunscreens, pain relievers, etc.

YES! We needed some aloe for a sunburn, and of course it was one of the nights we were in dock until like 10:30 at night... *grin* We also wanted to buy one of those waterproof "safes" for our $$, KTTW card, credit card, etc, and of course by the time we needed it, we were already in dock! We learned our lesson then, and tried to plan ahead from that point on.

I always pack a small pharmacy worth of medicines, antidotes and lotions, repellants, etc., my husband always laughs at me, but he's the first to ask for it when he needs it!

Better to have and not need than to need and not have!!

Just to let you know... they don't stock Immodium or Pepto. My mom suffered a case of "too much rich food" and was out of luck as far as the pharmacy in treasure ketch went.
