Still paying NOLA tax on drinks as of 9:20p

Can you give me an idea when you stop having to pay tax?
Miles down river?
Approximate hours after leaving port?
Or is it when you get to international waters?

I paid tax on every drink I recall last night. We were in the river until I went to bed for sure

On MG I saw a little bird like that one that sat on a table just outside of Lido.  The bird wouldn't move, just sat like he was supposed to be there.

It is supposed to be when the ship gets three miles from the nearest land. Louisiana's boundary is only three miles out.

What’s up with that?


no clue! It was almost NEVER full on Miracle. On Mardi Gras you needed incredible look to get a seat at any point. Vista and Horizon not far behind

I struggle with random Anxiety that literally didn’t appear in my entire life until I had a full fledged panic attack in Las Vegas at age 41. In the three years sense, I’ve had a couple more, some unwarranted ER trips, and tried medication. I got it under control and got off the meds about a year and a half ago, but it still pops up in the strangest places from time to time, and is so hard to explain. Kinda kicked in about a half hour ago, and as unhealthy as it may sound, sometimes a stiff drink or two knocks it out. 
 

ergo, Buffalo Trace and Zero from David, Casino Bar

We came across David on our last cruise. Every drink he made for me or my wife knocked us on our behinds big time. Might have been because he knew we were friends of Randy and Jenny though. How's that one?

I am! I have never found a rhyme or reason where it comes from, but I’ve gotten pretty good at stopping it from snowballing or sticking around too long. Couldn’t be in a better place! Thanks for asking

Seeing as how you are drinking bourbon I'll mention they have Woodford Reserve. That is my steady drink on Glory.


Woodford was my go to on a few ships after Covid when they couldn’t get Buffalo Trace. I love Woodford, I’m just a BT guy. Now, on the Horizon, Panorama, and Excel class? Pig & Anchor is a bourbon wonderland at sea
