Frankmac Posted July 27 #1 Share Posted July 27 Can someone advise how the drinks is priced. When I ordered I was charged the quoted price plus tax at 10% plus the gratuity at 18%. In my case the quoted daily rate was $65 per day so the final cost was €65 + 6.50 + 11.70 = $83.20 . Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted July 27 #2 Share Posted July 27 There shouldnt be 10% tax. If the cost was $65 per day it should be that x days plus 18%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Yes, that is correct as you were charged VAT and the 18% gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavvy Posted July 27 #5 Share Posted July 27 Are you sailing from Barcelona? Sailings from there attract 10% vat. (, except when the cruise planner prices in £ then it quotes the final all in price immediately)I don't think it's the country you are living in more the ship sailing country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but have noticed with Barcelona they add an additional tax that does not get added elsewhere such as UK or USA . Am not sure why Barcelona is different .
