price reductions

Glad it worked out for you. It is shocking how many people will post totally incorrect information -- with absolute conviction that they are right!

 

Port charges are a set amount based on the ports at which the ship is stopping.

 

By contrast, sales tax is a rate based on the purchase price. Very simple!

 

I take most of what I read on these board with a grain of salt. This is why.

The taxes aren't just sales tax. I spoke with them at length and most of the charges seem to stem from airline fees.

 

They may change again as the fuel supplements get taken off - since they are doing the surcharge OBCs today I can't get into the reservation.

 

Customer Service did confirm that the taxes are calculated based on the DAY you make your reservation and not on the cruise price so a lot of what the other posters have said is correct.

 

We'll see what the charges look like tomorrow.

Wrong. It's based on the cruise and where it's going. Purchase price has nothing to do with it.
