Allure Nov.16-23rd Sailing--Port Tax Credit given to passengers

[kiester]

We just finished the above mentioned sailing and my wife and I received a $16.01 "OBCR- Port/Air Taxes Credit".

 

Anyone know why?

 

The only thing I can think of is the fact that Allure departed 1/2 hour early from Ft. Lauderdale on the 16th and a bartender commented that the early departure saves the company money.

 

I'm not complaining as an extra $32.02 OBC is always a nice surprise.

 

I wanted to ask this question during the "Captain's Corner" Q & A session but didn't get a chance.

I received a credit also, but for a different amount.

 

hhhhmmmmm

 

My assumption is that some of us were overcharged for port taxes on our invoices.

We also received this credit on our Allure 9/28 sailing - thought we were either overcharged for taxes or they went down in price.

Port fees went down.

 

I've noticed that what we paid back in May for Port fees/taxes was higher then what they come up as now if I do a moc reservation now.

We "should" have an OBC for that amount when we board.. if we do bonus!

I also received a credit for Port Fees & Taxes on our Oasis cruise last week.

Going on allure in 2 weeks. Anyone been in 14178 or 14180? Any problem with noise with these connecting rooms?

We were on the Allure Nov,8 sailing and also received the port tax credit. Never did find out why but not complaining.
