rabin1 Posted June 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hello I have two questions about taxes and port charges. I don;t know if I really never paid attention before or if I just never purchased a cruise this far out. The taxes and port fees on the cruise I am sailing on went down $54 from what I paid. I realize it is not a huge amount of money. BUT....... I do have two questions: 1. is this normal and does it happen often? 2. what should I do if anything? Thank you for your response and advice Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted June 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Depends who you booked with and where you're from. Over in the uk it's a suck it up. If you're in the US you could ask for it reducing but be warned they may insist on reprising the whole cruise and you could lose perks. You don't get if you don't ask.

Bodger Posted June 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2017 We have previously received onboard credits for port charge reductions while sailing on another line. Possibly Azamara might do the same. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinaro44 Posted June 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2017 If final payment hasn't been made, the change in port charges should be reflected there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabin1 Posted June 5, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Thanks everyone. I did make final payment even though it is not due until December. I emailed the TA and asked him to try and get them to give me an OBC.. I realize it is only $54 but hey better I should get it than Azamara Have a great day & thanks again Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
