ladybirds Posted March 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hi we have the drink package, and I saw a comment that taxes on drinks while in port. Is this true? We have 3 days in port, and I am wanting to understand the details. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted March 31, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Also, the shops are closed while in port. And there are limited shopping at the port shops. The Casino opens at night for a few hours (NCL has paid for a gaming license for limited operations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjtravelnews Posted March 31, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Been on NCL to Bermuda three times. There was no tax on drinks at any time while in Bermuda. There WAS a tax while in port in NYC and for a short time after we left port. I think you pay tax until the ship reaches international waters? Maybe others know for certain when the cut off for the tax occurs. It's not a lot of money. I just remind everyone we sail with not to be surprised when they see it on their room charges, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink prices have gone up, so hopefully someone can post a more accurate amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I remember it was something like a $1 or $2. And I just wanted to give her a heads up so when she sees a charge for that amount she will know what it is for.
