ray98 Posted December 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Possible that taxes or port fees went up just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so, but the port charges and taxes can go up and they deduct those as if you were booking new and then credit you the difference. We put in for a $40 lower price and only received a $10.32 each. Oh well at least it was something. Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... happens frequently with ES...if port fees/taxes have gone up, they will adjust them at the tie you submit an ES price adjustment claim.

we3k9 Posted December 12, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted December 12, 2012 nope the taxes and port charges did not go up, they are still showing as 104.59, we have two bookings, one was not an early saver rate, we did it that way because the people in the non early saver booking were not sure they were really going and did not want to lose their deposit. anyway i just compared the two bookings and port charges and taxes are the same for both bookings. can i call carnival and ask why i was not credited the full $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy4Koko Posted December 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 12, 2012 i called and they said it was the taxes that went up. still happy we got the credit we got:) don't be surprised to see a tax/port credit on your sign and sail when you finally cruise. I've had it happen on the last 3 cruises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
