    Good afternoon.

    My wife is asking what brand cosmetics are sold on board? Are you able to help with this?

      The cosmetic brands appear to vary on a ship-by-ship basis. We have seen in the past that Bobbie Brown, Anastasia, MAC and Channel were all sold on board. The selection is constantly being updated based on demand and availability though.
