paul929207 Posted September 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Each country/port imposes its own fees and taxes on cruise ships. For instance, I believe Alaska charges $50 per passenger. Most ports charge for the time a ship is docked. There is a charge for the pilot (if you is needed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earnied Posted September 15, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I am also curious as to whether it costs the cruise line more $$$ to dock as opposed to tendering and do they pay based on the amount of time spent in-port. And if they pay based on time in-port and sail late are they charged additional $$$ ? earnied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
