There is one big difference between cruise taxes and petrol taxes. Petrol taxes are nonrefundable once you put the petrol in your tank and you don't purchase insurance to refund the cost if you get sick and can't use the petrol. It is reasonable to want to know the nonrefundable cost you are paying for a cruise.

The total price you are required to pay is what is displayed before the purchase..  On the receipt the taxes and fees are displayed.  So whether purchasing a cruise or petrol you know the full price before purchase and then the various charges after purchase.   Of course you can review the breakdown of taxes prior to purchase when making a purchase online.  Same for airplane tickets etc. 

Glad this is being put in place.  Not sure of the laws in the USA but here in Canada prices are supposed to show the total.  Unfortunately it is not enforced except for petrol and flight tickets.    I do have to chuckle at those who want to know the breakdown before they purchase and wonder if they want to see the cost before taxes of petrol at a gas station before they fuel up their vehicle.

Glad this is in place - makes it so much easier.  And of course businesses still have to show the price breakdown of taxes and fees on the receipt/invoice.

I deleted the old app today.  In the new app I still show as Ruby even though I am 1 cruise away from Elite.  New app History shows 2 cruises but not my last cruise. Online I appear as Platinum and can see all cruises.  

Happy Hallowe’en!   I was sitting here wondering what to do for New Year’s and decided to book. Leaving a white Christmas at home this year for some blue water! 

I’ll be there. Carnival seems to have them on every cruise I’ve been on. But I’ve never attended. Lol

Couldn't find any roll calls for this sailing, so shout out to other fellow LGBTQ cruisers that will be on board! It will be my first time cruising and first time in the Caribbean! I'll be travelling solo and hoping to make new friends!

I see you are from YEG. I’m about 450km north of you and on this cruise too. :)

Coming in with a group but cruising solo.
