Gate 8 in T1 is about as close as Cellaris gets

Cellaris sits airside in Terminal 1 at Sangster (MBJ), between gates 6 and 10, and focuses on last‑minute electronics and phone gear. It’s the spot for charging cables when your original one dies in Montego Bay and you still have a 3‑hour flight ahead. Stock leans heavily toward mobile accessories rather than big-ticket gadgets.

Opening hours usually track the main departure wave, roughly 7:00 to 19:00, but staff often close a bit early on light days, so don’t bank on it for a 21:30 departure. Prices sit above US high-street levels: expect around US$20–30 for a basic Lightning or USB‑C cable and US$35–50 for power banks. You’ll also see travel adapters labeled for US/UK/EU plugs and a handful of Bluetooth headphones.

Inventory tilts to Apple and Samsung phones, with cases for recent iPhone and Galaxy models more common than for Google or older handsets. If you need a laptop charger, options are hit‑or‑miss; they might have a generic 65W USB‑C brick for around US$45, but don’t count on branded replacements. Quick check: if your device uses USB‑C, you’re probably fine; anything proprietary is a gamble.

No major horror stories in reviews, but this is still airport retail: packaging sometimes looks scuffed, and returns after you leave Jamaica are basically impossible. Keep receipts printed, not just emailed, if you’re expensing a US$40 cable. Tip: test cables and headphones at the counter before you walk back toward gate 8.
