If I am booked with a friend and they cannot make it can they just no show and get refunded the taxes? I realize that the fare would not be refunded. How does NCL handle this?

I am in the same situation. How did NCL handle this? Was your friend a no show at the port. Thanks

I was on NCL Breakaway and returned from Bermuda the first of October. While I was on the ship I purchased two watches that totaled $2000. When I went through customs in New York the customs agent said I needed to pay tax on the watches since I was over my individual limit. I explained that I had purchased the watches on the ship and was told that they were duty and tax free. The customs agent said he would let me "slide" this time.

So my questions are "What is Duty Free?" "Should I have not listed the watches on the customs form?"

I had purchased a similar watch when I was on the Epic and the customs agent in Miami just let me walk on by.

Thanks in advance.
