azrayne Posted November 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I'm sure in here this question has been answered but I am not having luck in finding it. Why do they not offer the Cheers program for European cruises? I really appreciate the program and am disappointed it won't be available for the trip I just booked. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted November 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Because you can pretty much take alcohol on at embarkation and in the ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted November 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I believe it is due to tax rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adventuredancer Posted November 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2019 wait, you can bring alcohol back on board from ports and keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically no but they aren’t as strict and don’t always have a table set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arn’t as strict is an understatement. In Barcelona there is a full liquor store after security before you get on ship. We brought back wine from almost every port with zero problems.

aaronm120 Posted November 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hope that is still the case in Barcelona next year 🥂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted November 12, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Not strictly due to taxes. Even on the itineraries where VAT is not charged they still don't offer cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
