jelayne Posted January 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2014 When determining what amount of insurance to purchase should I include port charges and taxes? Never really thought about it before but recently had a cruise with ports cancelled due to weather and the port charges were credited to our account. So if we cancel before a cruise do they refund the port charges and/or taxes?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should include all your non refundable costs including port charges , Taxes , airfare and any other non refundable deposits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms4104 Posted January 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Buy insurance to cover prepaid and non refundable expenses ... I was told by both Princess and HAL that taxes and port charges are refundable ... ergo, you do not need to cover them Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
