  1. @3Sistersyes I'm not sure that the rep I spoke with was correct. I've seen in my other post on RCL blog that Spain has VAT of differing amounts depending on what is purchased, but it does actually go up to 21%! I'm just wondering if you can avoid the VAT if you delay your purchase until you're in international waters.
  2. I spoke with an RCL representative today who said this is their standard tax rate, and it has nothing to do with Spain's VAT. So apparently any onboard purchase will be taxed over 20%. To break it down: Wifi for 2 devices- $230.93 Tax- $48.44 Total- $279.37 Needless to say, we won't be making any more onship purchases.
  3. The only other advance purchase we made (we sail next month) is for a shore excursion through RCL. There was no tax applied to that. That excursion is in Italy though.
  4. My daughter recently purchased the wifi package for our upcoming Symphony of the Seas cruise leaving from Barcelona. The taxes on this were almost 21%! The app mentions a charge for Spain's Value Added Tax. Have others encountered this? Is this typical of purchases made on ship?
