This thread has been around a while. I booked a club balcony suite on Encore for an Alaska cruise in June through a TA this past November (Black Friday Sale). Fare was $1,730 each and Taxes, Fees, Port Expenses and Port Charges were $1,392. There is a separate line item for gratuities which cover's all of NCL's "Free at Sea" perks. I looked at the same cruise and suite today and the fare is $2,869 each, with the same perks, BUT Taxes, Fees, Port Expenses and Port Charges drop to $652 - $740 less! Any thoughts about what is going on here? Something doesn't smell right.
