sparky-elpaso Posted October 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The cruise line doesn't set those taxes - the ports do. And the length of the cruise has nothing to do with the cost of "parking" at a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted October 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I feel your pain. That does seem excessive. I had to look up what we paid for our 1 nighter from SEA to YVR in 2011. Our port fees were $25pp and the gov. taxes were $32.75pp. That doesn't even compare to your costs! :eek:Big difference, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted October 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Interestingly, going the other way for one night, Seattle to Vancouver in 2014 the taxes are only $55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2013 If it is any consolation, we did get refunded about $15.00 for the one night cruise. They don't have any trouble selling out the cruise. One big party ship or for those trying to make elite. I did it, but don't have to and never will do it again.
