Chris_2448 Posted April 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2018 It appears NCL upped their "Govt Taxes, Fees &Port Expenses". I did a mock booking today of a cruise I'm already booked on and noticed an increase of $52 PP. Anyone know what that's about? NCL Escape - May12th 2019 to Bermuda Category M9 Our booking Price (2/10/18) -- Item (per person) -- 4/24/18 Mock Booking Price $1,549.00 -- Cruise Fare -- $1,549.00 $200.85 -- Govt Taxes,Fees & Port Expenses -- $252.85 $138.40 -- Choice PromoSVCHG -- $138.40 $1,888.25 -- Total -- $1,940.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted April 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This is normal. Port taxes and fees can go up and down based on contracts they have with the ports and whatever the port feels like charging for that specific week. For my cruise in a few weeks, the port taxes went up by a few dollars per person. For my cruise next year, the port tax did not increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckle53 Posted April 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2018 They've increased on our booking next summer to Bermuda too. About $30 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted April 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2018 While NCL could pass those changes on to existing bookings, they normally don't pass them on. Changes in port fees, etc., happen all the time.Sometimes they go up, and NCL eats the cost. Sometimes they go down and you get a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_s_allen Posted April 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Port fees are a set cost for each individual cruise. So does the cruise line charge each person based on full occupancy or do they charge based on how many people they anticipate booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to us once - the port charges went down and we got a small refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
