Are port charges and taxes out of control?

Just got the bill for my 18 day transatlantic NYC to Lisbon Canary Islands NCL Sun cruise.  $500 taxes plus $180 port charges.  

Does anyone know how you can see the itemization of the taxes and port charges?  Seems to be a big secret.

The ship looks like a real trip. Largest casino and shopping mall in the fleet. No pool, 4 hot tubs. Instead of the pool you get a fake plastic garden to stroll in. Lots of shade. Laser tag, go karts, 8 Karaoke bars, tea rooms. Mostly buffet dining. Mandarin signage. 4000 pushy people. :cool:

Does anyone know if there are any perks such as OBC for owning NCL stock, like Carnival does?
