Norwegian has been offering some version of the sale for some time now. So with the deal you can pay one price and then get drinks for the duration of your trip, wi-fi, shore excursions, and more. While what’s offered to passengers does change slightly from time to time, the traditional deal offers a lineup of perks for you to select from: With Free at Sea, you book a cruise and get any number of free perks included with your cruise.

That gives you a more all-inclusive atmosphere on the ship, instead of worrying about more spending once on the ship. That’s why this offer aims to provide many of the extras you’d normally buy on a trip all included in your cruise fare at a price that’s normally less than if you booked them all separately. While cruise passengers have gotten used to shelling out plenty of cash for extras on the ship after they board, not everyone likes being nickeled-and-dimed. But is it a good deal? It is worth buying? And what details should you know when you book? Sailing a Norwegian cruise? The line’s Free at Sea offer provides perks to sailing, but there is fine print to know. I’ve yet to speak to anyone that has encountered this first hand… I think the rule just started in the past week or so.Norwegian Cruise Line’s “Free at Sea” deal is one of the most appealing cruise line offers out there. This will definitely add a significant amount to a bill even for the Free at Sea people! Since they’ll be charging on the value of the drink served, even if it’s Free or Included in the Free at Sea promotion. The biggest change that happened recently was Spain declared that any ship departing a Spanish port would have these taxes charged regardless of the other ports, for the whole cruise. Confusing, right? In the end, it only adds up to a few dollars – but can still be a surprise. So far, however, aside from Spain, most taxes are charged for PURCHASES while IN PORT, and not in EVERY port. But these Tax rules are changing rapidly, so what you read today may likely change. Spain is the first country to close that loophole I think. I’m unsure about Italy and France – but our last cruise recently did not have any taxes while on the Free at Sea because officially we weren’t “buying” anything. In the past, it was only while docked, now it it seems that the VAT tax is charged even while in Spanish water.

Spain has made some changes recently and random ports in other countries have different regulations.Įxpect you’ll be paying 10% VAT on the VALUE of the drink while in spanish waters (within 12 miles of the coast, I believe). It’s understandable why there is a lot of confusion.
