As it worked out for the folks involved in this “hypothetical” It was indeed the immigration team, All wearing flack vests, multiple handguns and multiple officers from immigration which received the payment at the time of the departure. Along with multiple crew members going through customs, they were also required to be present at the immigration office on board and after all others were processed, they were then questioned, charged $941.00 per person to be enabled to exit ship IN a US port( Hawaii).

It is indeed $941. US dollars And if not paid, no disembarkment for a US citizen who boarded the ship in US and disembarked in US. Immigration gets involved.

My question is regarding the AON Princess Vacation Protection policy. Does anyone know, if one must disembark due to a listed medical condition, and being US citizens, and we disembark in a US port, is the $941.00 one must pay our US Government to disembark as per the VSPA covered under our policy? Have been getting either “Don’t know” “Not sure” etc… Because ALL cruise ships are registered in foreign countries, we, as US citizens HAVE to pay these fees to be “allowed” off the ship.

as they now list an email address, I just sent off a query. I am thinking you are correct. just got an auto response from Princess which tells me, no answer available…

curious… have used our ccl stock option for multiple cruises. I am happy to see that they now accept an email. never did before. my question is. our upcoming World cruise is actually 5 segments. gee do we get our obc five times? we should… but kind of think we don’t. Anyone know?

another question, hope you don’t mind. credit card. we have a travel card which doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees. Did you find that one card was sufficient? Would you recommend traveling on a WC with two or three? Thanks if you do respond.

Having re-read from the beginning, I see my answer. We are planning on bringing a laptop and trying to do our taxes on board. With good wifi I don’t anticipate any major problems. What are others thinking?

Have thoroughly enjoyed your posts as we are scheduled on the 24 WC. a question comes to mind… As you returned after tax day, did you pre arrange your taxes being done or did you use an online service to do your taxes?
