A question about the tax and fee

[ccheng64]

I just booked two reposition cruises.

 

Sep 19th Golden Princess Seattle to Vancouver (1 night) mini suite

56.95 + tax& fee 35.19 = 92.15

 

Sep 21st Star Princess Vancouver to San Francisco (2 night) inside

67.86 + tax& fee 32.55 = 100.41

 

The 1-night cruise has higher tax and fee. Does anyone know why? I really don’t understand at all.

 

Thanks:confused:

San Fran charges more than Seattle.

It is also that US Immigration charges more for there service in San Francisco

 

:cool::cool:

Sorry but both your answers confused me.

 

If San Francisco charges more, why the tax and fee of the 2 day crusie is lower? (Vancouver -> San Francisco)

 

Or did you intend to say Seattle charges more port fee&tax \ Vancouver charges more in immigration service?

Fees are typically port fees which vary by ports visited.

 

Could taxes vary by State as well?

Very possibly. Neither Princess nor the US Government impose port fees or taxes. In every case, they are local port and/or state taxes. For instance, Alaska charges more than any other state regardless of the port.

Thank you! Now I understand. :)

Am I the only one that thinks these Taxes & Fees should be itemized and not just all lumped together.

OK. To confuse matters even more, we are on the same two cruises and our prices break down as follows:

 

Sep 19th Golden Princess Seattle to Vancouver (1 night) Obstructed View

34.00 + tax& fee 60.19 = 94.19

 

Sep 21st Star Princess Vancouver to San Francisco (2 night) balcony

219 + tax& fee 82.55 = 301.55

 

Go figure!!!!
