Does NCL credit you if taxes and port charges go down?

Do you get a credit or OBC if you see the taxes and port charges go down after final payment?

[Arzeena]

That has been our experience while on board (only).

We just got a refund of $47 per person on our recent trip.  Didn't know what it was but wasn't going to complain and then the Concierge explained it during the disembark speech.

What spigot cause the taxes or port charges to change?

during the booking process, the norwegian over estimates the port taxes/fees. As the cruise gets closer or until the ship is docked at the port, the port taxes might decrease to an actual amount. that difference is then refunded to you

[casofilia]

It certainly does if a port is missed but we have had sums credited to our folio when this has not happened.  I always have assumed it is for overcharging port fees and/or taxes.  That has been confirmed more than once

Everyone I spoke with during my last cruise received a $20 refundable credit during the cruise. We didn't miss any ports and there was no general problem that could have led to a goodwill credit, so I think it was to adjust port fees/taxes. (But I am still waiting for the $20.)

Port fees are estimated, based on ship capacity, etc. once the ship arrives they are actually calculated. If you are over charged you get a refund, if they under charged you NCL eats the difference.

you know this never entered my mind. We have gotten credit when a port is missed a couple of times but have never thought about the taxes or port charges changing prior to sailing.

Thanks for all your answers.  I was told to contact my TA to contact NCL about the lower port charge.  It is around $50 less now than when I booked in Sept. for my Feb. 2019 cruise.  It just might come off automatically once we are onboard.

I was going to just post Laughing out Loud emoji's until I read that people actually get refunds! I just assumed that NCL would take the cash and run. Good for them! 🙂
