SadieN Posted February 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sales tax has always been added on. It's in the 10% range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lois1112 Posted February 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was on the sapphire 2 weeks ago and had a class of wine in vines prior to sailing away and only got charged the service charge. (I just looked at my receipt to be sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one is that worried about the sales tax, they should probably see the big picture, and not buy the drink at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojaidenny Posted February 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) For all California ports, SD, Catalina, Santa Barbara, SF you probably get the same tax added. Calif has a sales tax as does most counties and cities. Edited February 23, 2014 by ojaidenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
