Are they also charging the crew that extra $42 fee?

Not cool!

If found the following article at Fox News.com Mexico to impose tax for cruise ship visitors starting in 2025 Don't know if we can opt to skip Mexico. We stay on the ship. On our last few cruises to the Caribbean, we stayed on the ship due to State department warnings.

Follow topic added.

I read about the new $42 charge in Fox News. Since all cruise from Galveston stop at Cozumel, this is a big interest to us. Also, we've been known to go to Cozumel then Costa Maya. Does that mean we're getting charged that $42 for each Mexican stop? This charge seems too high to me since a similar charge for Amsterdam is just $8. I couldn't figure anything out on the Royal Caribbean.com since they're now including port fees in their overall price.

Are the shore excursions they listed on the find cruises the only ones offered? DH isn't impressed, and threatening to cancel.

I checked with the cruiseline, and they said they want $500 flat rate airfare. Also, to upgrade, we must pay a $100 administrative fee, plus the difference. No, guarantee we'll about reaching the ship if our flight is delayed. What's the upside of booking airfare through ACL?

Is there a webpage at ACL where we can pick our airfare?

Can we ask our TA for an itemized receipt?

Thanks, we will check them out. I think I also bought some water bottles in Iceland. We had a tour guide that told us to buy a bottle of water, then refill it at any faucet in Iceland, and it would be good. We can't pick one up at a bar with the Elite Beverage Package?

Are these what you mean? White can with blue wavy lines on the front, with the caption, "more ocean, less plastic" and "still water" and "open water." I thought they were like soft drink cans with a pop tab. How much did they sell for? I saw a photo from Office Depot that showed something like a pop tab. But others in the shape of bottles.

Thank you!

Anybody have a minibar menu? We're hoping to find some bottled water we can take for shore excursions. And I think the HAL only sells the canned water that we can't close.

May both me and DH get an AARP discount?

Greenland is much further north than Bar Harbor. So, more ice flow. The time they cancelled all ship tours was October.
