Rare basketballdad Posted October 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yes- the behind the scenes ship tour... how much? And because there are new passengers getting on and off each day how often is it offered? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogoshady Posted October 22, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi Basketball Dad, I went and asked about the ships tours today for you. They are on the Seaday (Thursdays) and they cost 50 Euro, I’m assuming you will need to add a service charge to this. By the way five of us all travelling and we think the food in the dining room has been fine, and it’s been arriving hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted October 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hope you're enjoying your cruise, Yogoshady! There's no VAT charged onboard, though there has been mention on the forum before of having to pay Spanish taxes onboard when in Spanish ports. I've personally never experienced this.
