mlbcruiser Posted May 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Just heard about a new $40+ per person tax that the govt. in FP started charging incoming tourists. Supposedly Princess adds this to your shipboard account when you sail on the Tahitian Princess. Does anyone know more about this - and if it's true? Thanks for any info.

Toto2Kansas Posted May 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yes, it has been posted on here several times already. The $40 is for the Cook islands and the Marquesas is almost twice that high. It is only added to your account if you have already made final payment, otherwise it will be added to your cruise fare and included in your final payment.

mlbcruiser Posted May 11, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Thanks a lot for your replies. (Sorry, Toto, I only saw one reference to it and I think it was on another site.) So, since I cancelled my other reservation and booked a balcony cabin w/a different agency last wk., this tax is probably already included in the amount I owe for final payment? Guess either way I'll find out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
