KruznKel Posted February 4, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Is the soda card, and drinks taxable on a cruise? If you buy the soda card in port once you first get on the ship it is... I know for Miami anyways... if you wait until you are in international waters there will be no tax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If you buy the soda card before the ship leaves port, some ports charge a tax. The only other time I ran into tax, was the cruise to nowhere, the duty free shops charged tax, because we would not be going thru customs, due to no ports, so we couldnt buy anything in the ports. I bought some secret deoderant ($8.50??!!) .. or some such horrible price.. and they charged me tax on top of the horrible price .. but what can you do if you forgot it. They were charging tax on booze and cigarettes to, but no limit, so you could buy as much as you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted February 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2011 On my last cruise, Jan. 8th 2011, we got on board and I ordered a bucket of beer, ok not a soda card, and told the waiter, Mully, that I didn't want to pay the state tax. He said no problem, he'd put the transaction through after we left, and he did. Hey you have to save where you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
