Weeziblu Posted October 8, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I just booked my first sailing out of NY and can see that when I attempt to add Cheers that it begins on Day 2. I understand that this is specific to NY and Galveston, but does anyone know why? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just In NY, I believe its because of the state's liquor laws as they relate to "pay 1 fee for all you can drink", but I'm not certain. I'm also not sure about TX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's not prohibited as rcl does their drink pkg day 1 out of texas. Just not worth the hassle of maybe accounting for carnival out of texas. Or didnt make money with the extra taxes due.

Texas liquor law is specific about this. Did a google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware rcl uses liquor purchased in texas and then at some pt closes it up and switches over. If texas objected surely by now they would have said something to rcl way of doing it. My pt was only that if one can surely the other can do it in a way to make texas ok with it. Not to argue the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because one does it doesn’t make it right or Legal and it is pointed out on Texas Liquor Laws. Not a lawyer either however if RCI “chooses” to disregard or interpret the law different it’s a chance they are taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
