You have to wonder?

Cruise lines made a simple change to get around that ruling. What used to be called "port charges" are now called "non-commissionable fees". This way they can charge whatever they want, pad the pass-through and not pay commission on it. But the ruling requires them to advertise the full amount excluding government taxes / fees. That requirement is part of why they got into trouble with the fuel surcharges and now are also required to disclose them up front, too.

Of course the customer paid for it. Where do you think the cruiselines get their money from?

One year Carnival did over charge us for port fees. I think it was a class action suit..........can't exactly remember. But we did end up getting I think 100.00 total back. We just used it for another cruise..........so who know what may happen
