Italian Ports no Spirits...

[BamaVol]

We sailed the Norwegian Epic into Livorno in May 2016 with a beverage package and I do not remember seeing a similar sign.  But we had a full day excursion so were off the ship almost as soon as it docked until right before sail away.  Because: Florence!  Pisa!  Chianti!  What a waste to sit on the ship.  And then to complain because of being forced to drink beer and wine?  Priorities, people.

Someone mentioned the Galveston rules…

 

I cruised out of Galveston on Royal and they let you use the drink package on day 1, but you can only order Texas-sourced alcohol. 
 

Whereas, it seems Carnival doesn’t allow you to use the package at all. So this is another example of different lines handling regulations in different ways.

Just experienced the only 1 bar open situation in Canada on Discovery last week after departing Victoria and arriving Vancouver.

I don´t think you got my point with this thread, I can live without alcohol/Spirits but I don't think its fair to sell a drink package upgrade and promise me premium spirit brands, without telling its not available in two ports, including the last evening in Livorno. 

 

If it is a tax issue between NCL and Livorno they should at least let the customers decide if they will pay the ekstra tax or not have any drinks/spirits as they do in spanish ports. 

 

I posted this here because I would here if Princess had similar issues if they do not maybe I should try Princess next time. 

 

Thanks for all your answers, I really appreciate it very much!
