DCCruiser57 Posted September 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Does Carnival charge sales tax on drinks in Baltimore? If so, how long after they sail does the tax stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted September 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If Baltimore has a sales tax ( I am sure it does ) they will charge it until the ship hits international waters. How long that is I don't know, but someone out here surely will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHilla619 Posted September 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2018 You will pay tax on drinks while the ship is still docked in Baltimore, and for about an hour after sail away until the ship reaches international waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0 it is not just an hour from Baltimore... It takes 7 hours or so to reach international waters out of Baltimore, so you will pay tax on any drinks you order until approx. 11pm on the first night. This applies to everyone whether you have cheers or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted September 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Ships leaving ports like Baltimore, NOLA and Tampa have a long way to go before they leave their state borders, 6 - 8 hours is a good estimate for these ports. Hopefully, the state tax on purchases while still in state waters won't break anyone's cruise budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
