bjtravelnews Posted August 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hello everyone - we are leaving in a few weeks (YAH!!!) for a Canada/New England cruise with ports of call being Portland, Bar Harbor, St John Bay of Fundy, and Halifax. Does anyone know if there is a tax on drinks at any of these ports like there is in NYC? Thanks all. First time heading north and looking forward to the cruise!

Earl Rosebery Posted August 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2019 15% value added tax called (HST) in Halifax and Saint John on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Nomads Posted August 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Is the tax already included in the shelf price or is it added at the till? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted August 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2019 There is no "drink tax" in NYC. There is a meals/restaurant/sales tax, charged on most things in NYC, which is in addition to the menu/shelf price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann ns Posted August 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Liquor in liquor stores in Nova Scotia is priced with the tax included. In restaurants there is the 14%HSTax. Remember our dollar is worth about 25% less than yours so that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted September 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I think the OP means the taxes you pay on drinks from the bars on the cruise ship when the ship is docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joken35 Posted September 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2019 There is a thread in the NCL site which indicates the tax is applied until you reach International water , which is approximately 7:00:7:30 . Tax was approx. 1.00 per drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
