stitch4me Posted April 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I will be on the Getaway this July going to the Western Caribbean. I have the UBP. I understand that there are some ports that will charge a surcharge for drinks while in port. Does anyone know which ports? I am going to Roatan Bay Islands - Honduras, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel. Thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of any foreign ports charging taxes, it is generally the US ports that charge sales tax on all purchases in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathubia Posted April 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We were on the Dawn to those ports, the only time we were charged tax on drinks was while we were in New Orleans. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2cruise1 Posted April 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It is not a surcharge but rather local sales tax in some US ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted April 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have sailed out of both Houston & Galveston and never paid any taxes on drinks. Houston does have limited selection of drinks while in port.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
