I just got back from a carnival cruise out of Galveston. If you are a Texas resident - you can only bring back one liter duty free. Otherwise its $2.80 for each additional liter. If you are a non Texas resident - you can bring back 3 liters duty free. The first day on the ship - they usually have a tasting of different alcohols. This is the time to get it because they have discounted prices for that time only (I got two liters Bailey's and one liter Sheridan for only $33). And everyone who buys during this time gets placed into a drawing for free alcohol. They sold out of the Sheridan in one hour. The only port I could find it in was at the duty free shop at the end of the downtown pier at Cozumel. I love Sheridan - if you like coffee liquers you have got to try it.
When I went through Customs in Galveston - they didn't even look at my claim form. They just scanned my passport and waved me through.
How much liquor can we bring back?
