Tax on cruise

[vaca1981]

I was just looking at my invoice from my TA and see that I am being charged $558.70 in taxes for the two of us while rccl website only charges $326...any idea why this is? Will def call my TA tomorrow morning!

Is it taxes and fees? or just taxes? Without seeing the invoice, I can't really help you. Call the TA tomorrow- good idea!

Is it travel insurance or the TA's booking fees?

TA's very ofter break the pricing down differently to the cruise line. The "cruise fare" consists of 2 parts, commisionable and non commisionable, on the RCI web site, these are shown as one price, the cruise fare, the only things added to this are government taxes/fees. A lot of TA's will show the commisionable fare, this is the amount they get paid on, and then show the non commisionable fare AND the government taxes and fees, as taxes and fees. The total price should be the same as the total price from the cruiseline.

Talked to my travel agent and I got a $210 pp price reduction! RCCL was having a special resident rate for my sailing. Needless to say I am thrilled!
