sweetsixteencruisers Posted November 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Probably a silly question. I apologize! I know you can’t use the cheers package until the second day, not sure why. But can you still purchase cocktails the first day/night? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYcruzzer Posted November 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2017 FYI, you will also pay NYC sales tax on all beverage purchases until you are in international waters Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinh69 Posted December 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2017 So first time sailing out of NYC and first time purchasing Cheers. Will we be charged for Cheers beginning the second night or do they charge you for the first night as well even though you are unable to use it that first night? Also, I assume that if we make the purchase online ahead (for cost savings) we have to pay it in full at that time...it doesn't add to what we still owe on the cruise, correct?

BDRebel Posted December 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2017 In Texas, if you are on a 7-night voyage, they will charge the package for 6 nights. I'm pretty sure it is the same in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notyours75 Posted December 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Both Texas and NY have state laws that, to make a complex matter simple, prohibit the selling of alcohol in this manner. So they technically wait until the next day then "sell" it to you, even if you've pre-purchased it. Basically they are waiting until you are in international waters. On our last cruise out of Galveston I noticed that each bar had cabinets labeled "Texas Alcohol" as Texas requires each bottle to have a tax stamp. Once they were in international waters all those bottles went into the cabinet and new bottles (and a lot more of them I might add) came out.

CheapieD Posted December 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Sort of the same vein but does anyone know if bottles pre-purchased through the fun shop can be delivered day one out of NYC. I would guess they can be since New York liquor law pertains to unlimited plans but wasn’t sure about fun ship alcohol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
