5n LoS Bermuda Taxes/Fees

[Laney219]

I noticed a decrease in the taxes and port fees for my July sailing.. not significant, but every bit helps.

 

Will I receive the discount price automatically or do I call? Did not make final payment yet if that makes a difference.

 

TIA

In the past, we have received a credit on our onboard account when there was a reduction in taxes.

Thank you for your quick reply, Bob.

If the total price of your booking, including taxes and fees, has dropped, then call and have it adjusted, the t&f may rise later, if it is just the t&f that have dropped and the cruise price has gone up then wait, as Bob said, you will normally be refunded and difference between the T&F you paid, and the prevailing rate on sail day, as OBC

So... I kind of fell in the middle... rate remained the same, only the taxes and fees went down.

 

Took a chance and called. They said there is nothing they can do unless the base price changes. I asked about receiving the difference as OBC (as I have read here MANY times before). Was told they never do that!?!

 

Like I said, it is not a lot of money.... but still some!

We received an adjustment on our account during the sailing. It was like $1.46 per person. Around Day 3.

 

The taxes and fees varied over the past year on our date; at one point they were 176, then 167. I think we booked at 167.

If the T&F, on the day of sailing, are less that you paid, you will get the difference as an obc, T&F are not something that the cruiseline charges, they are charges that they incur and are passed on to the cruiser, they cannot charge more than they are charged, they was a ruling from the Florida AG about that a few years back
