Getaway-Beverage Tax?

Does anyone know what the beverage tax is? When are guests charged beverage tax? TIA

When we had the Cheers program on the Carnival Breeze out of Miami we were charged sales tax 7% until we were a certain distance from Miami.

There is no "beverage tax". You are talking about sales tax. Whatever the Florida sales tax is, you will be charged that on any drinks purchased while in port before you sail. Except sometimes the bartenders forget to ring in the tax. If you have 3 drinks before you sail, you might owe a dollar.

Thanks for the clarification. In Canada we are charged a specific tax for alcoholic drinks, which is different from sales tax. Either way taxes are taxes, whatever you call them.

No matter what U.S. port you are sailing from the city, state or both will charge sales tax while you are in port.
