Fantasy Shopping for things you forgot

[Girl of the South]

Took some photos of the non-Mickey items on the Fantasy Dec. 9, 2022 - stuff you may need but forgot? Prices were high but didn't seem higher than what you would spend in the airport. Not sure about the price of diapers these days but the packages are small.

Interesting. Most other cruise lines are removing any cold/cold-type OTC meds from their onboard shops. They'd rather you visit the health center to assess whether you might have COVID or other ailment.

Thank you for posting this.
All the times we have been on the Fantasy I have never noticed these items where were they at?

Random note that on the Wonder, this store opened in the evening on port days, but Guest Services had extra pads for emergencies.

It’s in a corner of Mickey’s Mainsail (? How quickly I forget). There’s another shop, a bit more upscale that did have a couple of phone charging cords.

I now vaguely remember years ago where Bvgari is now there used to be a store that sold perfume. If my memory is correct they had some of those items in a corner of the store. Until I saw your post I completely forgot about it.

Maybe I'm not recognizing labels, but it really looks like the only "cold-type" med is Mucinex. Everything else looks to be pretty standard drug store supply for non-illness needs.

I see Tylenol, Vicks VapoRub, Benadryl, Claritin (yes, allergy stuff, but still good for stuffy heads). On the other cruise line even basic Tylenol/Aleve have been removed.

I know that Benadryl is supposed to be helpful for mild Covid symptoms. Just noticed there are no pain relievers of any kind - not even aspirin. Which is why I brought my own little first aid kit with a couple of Covid self tests and a thermometer. Not sure why I took these photos but maybe to encourage people to bring their own OTC items?

I missed the Vicks. But I consider Benadryl and Claritin to be allergy, and Tylenol/Aleve/Advil to be more general in use. Yes, there is some overlap, but personally I think it's unreasonable to hold everything back just because it *could* be used to treat covid. If I have a migraine, the last thing they want is me wandering the ship trying to find medication. But then again, we travel with our own mini-drugstore with pretty much anything the family might need, so I've never paid much attention to what the shop offers.

Surprised there is NO Tylenol/Aleve/Advil . . . I brought more "just in case" stuff than I normally do this time. There was a 'pharmacy' in the gated port in Jamaica but it seemed a little . . . hmm. I don't know. Didn't seem legit? Like someone just sent 6 big boxes of US OTC items to the Port and put it behind glass. I guess might work in a pinch.

I see liquid Tylenol in the 1st picture, not Aleve or Advil. I can't make out all the products, though, so assumed if the children's Tylenol was available then adult pain meds are as well. Curious of that reasoning if not.

Different countries have different laws about what meds are available OTC and how meds can be bought.

We sailed on Carnival in March when they still had mask requirements, and they hadn't removed any of these things from the onboard shop.
