sandpiper Posted January 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I have heard from someone who just got off the Oasis they are charging a $14.50 per person at each port to aid in the recovery efforts. Is this true? I fee terrible for these people who lost everything, but if RCL just decides to tack this fee without our approval thats wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoGurl Posted January 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Probably an optional donation or something. Or maybe they didn’t know about the daily tips and someone joked that the fee was for island recovery or something, and they believed it.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums That was my first thought. Otherwise it would be a huge coincidence that this "fee" is the same exact amount as the daily auto-gratuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinDawn Posted January 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just got off the Oasis on the 21st, no fee on our SeaPass and as a matter of face we were refunded $1.38pp in Port Fees. Have no clue what they are talking about. BonVoyage Dawna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for eastern and western as we are going to be doing a b2b and trying to plan some things. I can give you my email to send them to me.

Perhaps you paid more in fees and taxes and got refunded the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you paid more in fees and taxes and got refunded the difference.Taxes & fees do fluctuate, we tend to book early so maybe they slightly overestimated. We have paid a few bucks on cruises too, just a matter of when ya booked and how it all washes out in the end. But there definitely wasn't a $14.50 charge per day for island rebuilding.
