Creator's Key Takeaways

Apparently, NCL charges a Spanish tax when their ships are in Spanish ports or waters.

The really confusing part, the tax isn't added up front, it's added per drink or meal while the ship is in Spain.

We've cruised to Spain loads of times on other cruise lines and never paid this before.

The itinerary we were looking at had several Spanish ports, some stay in late, which could have meant a lot of extra charges, which completely put us off booking.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check for Spanish tax on Norwegian Cruise Line itineraries with Spanish ports.
Be aware that tax is applied per drink or meal while in Spanish waters, even with a drinks package.
