Spurschick Posted March 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sorry if this has been asked somewhere else but was curious. Seeing as the NOS sails into Galveston where you now pay duty on tobacco and alcohol, was just wondering if it is having any effect on sales on board. If it is has, has anyone seen super special offers to try to entice sales? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is has, has anyone seen super special offers to try to entice sales? Thanks Didn't seem to bother the real shoppers. There were a few people lined up at the Texas Tax counter when we got off the ship. Didn't see and super specials over and above what usually goes on with the shops on board. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dplusd Posted March 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) We always buy a couple cartons of cigarettes and bottles of liquor at the duty free shop. But with the new rules in Texas, we won't make any "duty-free" purchases on board. It's no big deal to me and I mainly don't want the hassle of standing in another customs line on disembarkation. Galveston is terrible enough without adding more stress to getting off the ship! Edited March 17, 2014 by dplusd sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurschick Posted March 17, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks to you both for the replies We normally get a carton each but with the $15 tax pee carton cheaper to buy at home. May just get a carton on board to keep DH going for the week. Agreed Galveston is not my favorite port for disembarkation:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
