Review summary

well organized. 

Excursion Tour guides should give proper information about shopping and VAT taxes etc.  They lied to us about getting VAT tax not being charged!!!

They gave us forms for processing at the airport.  There was no information (even at the airport information counter).  We were told to go from terminal to terminal.  Had to pass through the security lines THREE TIMES.  Still we could not find anyone in customs to stamp our papers and then we were charged VAT.

So much for tax free shopping promised by Celebrity & Tour Guides.

Thank you for posting your cruise review. Not sure what to say about the VAT issue. It is confusing to say the least.  Our experience taught us not to bother buying stuff that we would have otherwise picked up.  The frustration associated to the VAT processing is not worth it.  So, we took a lot of pictures instead of buying souvenirs.
