Hey Mates,



Is it cheaper to bring alcohol (rum/whiskey/vodka) or buy it there? How much can you bring before you pay taxes?



Thanks,



One Bad Jack

If you have room you can bring it from home....I think 2 liters is the max per person.......personally I would not bring it......you may not want to chance it getting broken on the flight down....plus it would be all over you clothes. We only purchase alcohol at the duty free on our departure date so can't help you with prices....remember our dollar is only worth .80

We paid $60 for a case of beer and a case of water when we got there. A bit pricey! We did buy booze at the duty free which saved us a lot of money. I think next time we will either bring beer or only drink what we can buy at duty free.

When you say you purchase at the duty free shop, are you refering to the ones here in the US or the ones available once you arrive in the Caymans? I was always under the impression rums were cheaper in the islands. Not true?

When you are leaving Grand Cayman, you will be able to buy duty free. When you are going to GC, buy in the duty-free shop at your departure airport. Rum is NOT cheaper in the Cayman Islands.
