Jazzy Cruiser Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hello everyone, I currently have three upcoming cruises with two stopping at CocoCay. I've reserved cabanas for both stops and noticed that one was taxed and the other was not. Does anyone have any insight why that is? Are excursions on Royal Caribbean's private islands taxable? Thanks! Jaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoose7563 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 We had a floating cabana in Sept and there was no tax added to the purchase. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob&Ana Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Wow, I was shocked that back in September we were on the Ovation out of Seattle and we never touched a foreign port during our Alaska cruises but they had no tax on anything....not even on Duty Free. While sailing in Europe they add tax to everything.... Can't imagine what tax they can charge on Coco Cay....maybe the ship needs to touch Mexico to be tax free....

Yep, there is sales tax at least on purchased drinks (I believe beverages received using the drink packages are excluded). But I haven't heard of excursions being taxed. It could be a case of the New vs. Old Cruise Planner layout. The old CP has gratuity included in the listed prices. The new CP prices are not inclusive of gratuity, and rather it's added once the item is in the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
