arkmomma Posted December 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We've heard rumor that beer is cheaper if you buy it while still in port in Galveston. Anyone know the deal with this? We are considering buying our limit and keeping it on ice for the rest if the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arush5268d Posted December 10, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2013 You misunderstood. It is more expensive if you buy it while the ship is in the home port as that is when you have to pay taxes. Even if it was cheaper - how silly would it be to keep up with a large quantity of beer on icein your room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicksMom Posted December 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I read a review on here that said buckets of beer were cheaper until muster drill in Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyard Posted December 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I've also read many times that the bucket of beer is cheaper if you buy it before you leave port. Meant to see if it was true on my last cruise but time got away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROUCHPUSS Posted December 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It is because the are only 12oz beers, they can not bring out the 16oz until after sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted December 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Galveston is controlled by Archaic blue laws Also the local distributors make sure they get their cut so cruise ships dont bring out all the regular booze:rolleyes: Edited December 10, 2013 by jonbgd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
