If all the lines are doing it, why blame NCL?

 TUI (Marella) and MSC not passing on these extra charges, not sure which other cruise lines apart from NCL adding the charges.

But, you should only pay the VAT on what drinks you order, not what you might or might not order as paying the VAT on the entire package would make you do.

The price paid for the package say £150 this may well be for as little as 2 drinks or perhaps 12 drinks per day it's a package price, so charge the vat if applicable on the package price.

if you pay £150 for a drinks package and are charged 20% VAT  for this package...then the VAT Is £30...its not rocket science...I purchased the package in the UK...not on the ship and not in Spain.

Spot on!
