15 drinks a day is less harmful than 3 sugar sodas. Start drinking alcohol and get the Cheers package. 

Lol How much alcohol do you need to drink to break even with the Cheers pkg?

My experience has been if I order a soda while in port, I am initially charged $3.24.  $3.00 is subtracted as part of the package. $0.24 is not.  Card has been swiped, I sign the receipt and account is charged $0.24 for that soda.  When at sea,  the receipt is initially $3.00, $3.00 subtracted for $0.00 balance  charged to account.  Each transaction will show up on your folio statement.  Sometimes they don't swipe the card, give me the soda and it never shows up on the account statement.  Once they did swipe and tried to charge me but my ever-vigilant wife caught that and it was corrected.

is it only Carnival who charges tax on sodas while you are still in POM?

When we sailed on RCI a month ago out of POM, all I had to do is show our pass which had the soda package indicated on it, and they didn't swipe the card or anything. So, we got sodas when we were having our embarkation lunch at the buffet. No tax.

Looks like you are right about that. I asked on the Royal board and they said no tax in ports.

 

Cant say about other cruise lines.

 

Thanks for the question. I learned something today.😊
