Drink tax
We have the drink package as promo and have paid the gratuity charge. However I heard that we could be charged extra per drink bc we are in USA ports the entire time. Is this true and how much is the tax?
Re Hawkeyetize post above
We sailed on the 12th to October cruise embarking Barcelona, calling at Malta and the Greek Isles before disembarking at Rome on the 23rd.
The Cruise was fabulous, could not find a thing to fault it and the "Spanish Tax' in no way spoilt our experience. There was some bad feeling amongst mainly U.K. passengers in receipt of the UBP promotion, about this tax and I admit I too was curious has to how this had come about, a tax on something given free?
