Yes, though you may have a limited selection till out at sea.

thanks, that’s the answer I was looking for.

The only alcohol they will provide with the drink package while in Texas state waters is a small selection that isn't additionally taxed by the state of Texas. All non-alcoholic drinks should be available right away.

This should give you an idea of what libations will be served before reaching Intrrnational waters. The selections do change from time to time.

The fact that Shiner Bock is not on the beer menu is an affront to all Texans!

Shiner Bock is on the menu when in Texas waters.

Last time I sailed out of Galveston that's what I drank.

sailed out of Galveston on Harmony in Dec of 2023 and Shiner was only available while in TX waters.  I asked for one a day or two in and they said no.

Looks like they improved the list from my last sailing

Been sailing out of Galveston for several years and, while not my beer of choice it was always availible on the first day on every ship we sailed on.

Thanks for the drink menu, we have a group of friends who will be delighted to see this. This is why I love Cruise Critic!

Since the only alcohol they can sell must have Texas tax stamps, my guess is that they didn't want to deplete the onboard stock after leaving Texas waters.

I was sitting in the English pub one night when they stared to remove the Shiner from the shelves on Night One. I asked why & he said they can only sell in while in Texas water but didn't offer up a reason. He did allow me to take a few bottles back to my room before all the bottles were put away for the rest of the cruise.

The reason they remove the Texas Liqour after they leave Texas waters is to save for the next cruise, (Texas taxes are more expensive than what they buy in bulk for international waters).  Interestingly if you ever sail on a ships last cruise before relocation out of Galveston they will leave that Texas taxed stuff out.
