Port Taxes and Fees Refund

[iloverags2]

Just a general question (not looking to get into a "buy insurance" debate). If a cruise is cancelled the day of sailing, will Carnival refund port taxes and fees regardless if there is no insurance? I know the cruise fare is history, just curious how they handle those fees.

 

TIA!

Yes, they'll refund them. They'll go back on the payment source after the cruise has returned. We had four people not show up for our wedding (we paid) and got their fees back about a week after debark.

What could happen if you have a cabin booked for 2 and one is just a no show.

 

Would the port fees & taxes be refunded.

They refund the government fees and taxes and any pre-paid gratuities, but not the port charges. If one person is a no-show they will refund that person's gov't fees and taxes.
