Still debating this?
I’ve come to the conclusion that many of you should not cruise or stay in hotels.
Whether it’s the VAT (visible or not visible), resort fees at a hotel, city tax, etc, etc…we all pay it (them).
Whether you want to or not is a different story.
But, if you DON’T want to, don’t get drinks on your cruise. At least on NCL, it’s visible. On other cruise lines, it’s “baked into”’the drink package cost, where you may not even see it.
Or, only sail to/from ports that do not require you to pay taxes while docked or in their territorial waters.
If you still want to protest it, contact Spain’s Tourism Offices and let them know your feelings!
