NightOne Posted July 22, 2023 #51 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Our fully paid Odyssey cruise in January 2024 just had the taxes raised by $40.90 and the only Bahamas stop is Cococay. (According to the e-mail I just received) So we are having to pay an extra $20.45 pp to go to the “private island” and I guess we are no longer fully paid. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, now I think the $30.65 might be for two! I’m still wondering if there is a double charge for cruises visiting both Nassau & Coco Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare colesc15 Posted July 22, 2023 #59 Share Posted July 22, 2023 This is an upcoming casino comped cruise on Wonder. Being a casino comp cruise, it's been paid in full already. Is it going to open up and become available to pay the 8 cents (or 16 cents)? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherFx Posted July 22, 2023 #60 Share Posted July 22, 2023 For me up $48.26 as a solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who were paid in full before final payment still received the increase notice Well, I guess paying off all my cruises in advance didn't work in my favor for the Bahamas, huh? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted July 22, 2023 #69 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Well since I am one of the few who like short cruises guess where my 12 or so sailings go? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Baltic Posted July 22, 2023 #70 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I get that it’s an increase and no one likes that but as a percentage of the overall cost of the cruise it’s very small. RCs increases in fares are many multiples of this and people pass it off as ‘the price of everything is going up’ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mramella Posted July 22, 2023 #75 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Below is my increase. I'm not very good at math, but I think that's roughly a 10% increase. And I have 2 rooms, so I'm in ~$60... Good times! LOL! Booking Original Tax Amount Adjusted Tax Amount Currency 7142#### 303.58 328.44 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
