hpecorari Posted July 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2015 How is this determined? Is it a flat fee per port or does the fee depend on how long your ship is IN port? Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail-s Posted July 20, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Flat fee per port. Some ports change less for kids than they do for adults. (or maybe it's 3rd and 4th guests in a room, I forget) but they're set by the government of the port you're stopping in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna529 Posted July 20, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've wondered this also. Our kids port fees are always the same as ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theloo Posted July 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2015 When I've done mock bookings, the 3-8th passenger frequently has lower fees by $5-15, not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted July 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2015 How is this determined? Is it a flat fee per port or does the fee depend on how long your ship is IN port? Harriet Yes to all of the above. Each port sets its own fees and decides how to calculate them. Things include the length of the vessel, number of passengers, is a pilot used, are tugs used, what supplies are taken on board, including fuel and water, and the list goes on and on.

StolidCruiser Posted July 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2015 "Port fees" (those taxes, fees, and port expenses imposed by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, as well as third party fees and charges, arising from a vessel’s presence in a harbor or port) are most commonly calculated on a per ton or per vessel basis and that expense is most commonly spread across a ship’s total number of passengers. It is not based on the duration of time spent in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
