This is true even if you have pre-purchased a drink package. I think this also applies to Puerto Rico, but I can't remember. Never paid sales tax on a drink with a pre paid drink package when sailing on Roysl from a US port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all US ports do this but when sailing with Royal (and prepurchasing the drink package) I have never paid the tax in port. Now when on a Carnival cruise, out of Florida, a few years ago we prepurchased the drink package and still had to pay the tax per drink. It was less than a dollar each time so it was not much but I was still surprised since we have never been charged this tax while sailing with Royal.

I caught me the first time. Then I paid attention. 🙂 Just used one at Heathrow this morning. DECLINED their conversion, but they still charge 3 pounds, but I get that reimbursed. But I have to remember, I take the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station and there are fee free ATMs there. BTW, the two ATM companies that I see offering their conversion are Travelex and Euronet.
