Drink Port Taxes - Port Canaveral and Bahamas

[kmchisholm]

We’re sailing on the Sun from March 27 - March 30 and have the unlimited drink package.  We have the unlimited drink package so have paid gratuity. Does anyone know if there are additional taxes while in port and if so, is it just Port Canaveral or Bahamas as well?  Since it’s a short cruise we were debating taking advantage of quiet time on the ship vs excursions but would be helpful to know. Thanks!

Yes.

There are taxes on alcohol while in US territorial waters.

It isn't much... We paid about $15 for a 7 day.

What they said. It's less than a dollar a drink (for Florida ports) if you stay under the $15 limit.

We stayed below $15 to make the best use of the Bev.Pkg.

We also spent time in the USVI and PR buying drinks, so that added up...

It wasn't detrimental to the least to see the charges, nor did it hinder my ability to buy more drinks...

It really just got lost in the nickle and dimes of gratuities and pictures and 'stuff' we charged to the room...

If you have the beverage package there is no tax in the Bahamas.  But there are in Port Canaveral
