Why a Cruise Specials alert? Because when it comes to cruise prices many cruise liners have become a little more covert in their cruise pricing operations - charging less for the ticket while assessing a number of extra fees and surcharges at embarkation.
Cruise Ship Port Charges
Cruise liners have always had an "advertised" price and a "real" price - the price after they assess the various port charges and taxes. As an example, I recently booked a 5 day cruise for myself in the cheapest available cabin at a price of $420. The port charges however added another $198.77 making the actual cruise $618.77. Holy Shmoly! There's also added expenses for shore excursions, spa treatments, alcoholic drinks, even soft drinks... and tips can easily add another $50 to the total outlay of your cruise.
