VAT Tax

[SLSL]

Does anyone know if you return to the USA by ship (transatlantic sailing), how do you get the VAT tax returned to you on your purchases? Typically, this is done at the airport, but we won't be going to an airport.  I remember years ago, the ship had someone come on the ship while we were still in port, and do this for the passengers.  I don't remember which cruise line this was;  nor do I know if this is routinely done or is currently being done?  Looking forward to a nice purchase as long as the dollar/euro rate stays like this. Thanks for any help.

You may want to check over in the British Isles/Western Europe sub forum - I recall a mention about a drop box for VAT refund forms at the Ocean terminal - but I've never looked for it as we didn't buy anything except drinks and snacks.
