missouri mike Posted February 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Dumb question, but, does anyone know if they charge taxes on alcohol bought on board? We are sailing out of New Orleans. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachlover76 Posted February 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't think so in NOLA, after the ship sails is the time to purchase it though, that's when you get it tax (duty)free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbatt8 Posted February 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2014 In the ports I have sailed out of (and as far as I can remember) tax is charged on all purchases (even mixed drinks) until you are at sea. And with the long trek down the Mississippi River, you may not be at sea for quite a while. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't open the duty free shops until you are out at sea and once they are open, there is no tax charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
