I’m sure this will have been asked before somewhere: going to the Canaries and Cadiz, will we be paying extra for drinks when in port or Spanish waters? We don’t have a drinks package.

Not in the Canaries, but possibly in Cadiz, but only while in port.

Funny enough I am on Arvia atm in Spain.
 

There is a 10% Spanish tax on any drinks ordered on board while in port. 
 

That being said I am mainland Spain, Barca and Valencia etc.

You shouldn't pay more. As an example, Spain, France and Italy doesn't have the same VAT and people do not notice it when being on board and calling in different ports.

 

Be awared that, being in Canary islands, you can buy some goods with less taxes (maybe alcohol and tobacco is where it worths the most) but carrying them into mainland (without declaring) over a quantity is smuggling.
