Thank you for the great review. I thought I recognised your style of writing and then spotted Disboards and knew I’d read your reviews many times.

We’ve sailed on both Scarlet and Valiant Lady - loved both our cruises and going on Valiant Lady again in August. I presumed they added VAT to all their drinks when you sailed from Barcelona? Mind you I’ve got $600 of free bar tab so it’s not a problem!

To be honest we can't remember, we had $800 on our free bar tab - so that explains the fact we have no recollection of drink prices!

They only add VAT or sales tax when in that countries waters. So once out in international waters there is no tax, but when in port there might be tax. There is sales tax at the beach club at Bimini too.

Thank you - different cruise lines do it differently. For example when Celebrity sail  round trip Barcelona there is a 20% VAT on all shop purchases the whole cruise - as we always have drinks packages with Celebrity I cannot remember re drinks.

Thank you for this trip report! I definitely recognize your reviews from DisBoards so it was refreshing to read this one. We're doing the same itinerary in August and it's been so hard to find information about the ports.

 

We might copy your exact Cinque Terre itinerary, sounds amazing!
