Rare expectthebest Posted March 23 #1 Share Posted March 23 Hello fellow critics: I recall while cruising from NYC few years back on sailaway day we were charged a small additional tax per drink while we were docked in NYC. We have a Bermuda cruise on Joy 5/26-6/02/24 Joy RT NYC my question is while we are in Bermuda for 3 days will we be charged a tax per drink there as well. I ask bc the says in port are almost half of the days we are cruising. Does anyone know how much per drink.. hoping my shareholder benefit ($100 credit) will cover the charges Thanks- Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda does not have a sales tax or a VAT on purchases. Edited March 23 by Charles4515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wvshimmy Posted March 27 #9 Share Posted March 27 Yes, NYC collects a tax until international waters. While Bermuda does not, most restaurants/bars add an automatic gratuity to bills. It was around 17%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
