smokeybandit Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Not enough that anyone will really notice, but the Bahamas is really taking advantage of their uptick in traffic. $7 per head in new taxes, plus $5 per head increase in the existing cruise passenger tax (or $7 if your only Bahamas port stop is a private island) http://www.tribune242.com/news/2023/jun/01/govt-near-tripling-cruise-departure-tax-145m/#:~:text=The Passenger Tax Amendment Bill,from a private island not ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 It's hard to blame them. They see the cruise lines jacking up rates and they want in on the action. Liberty has stated he is taking advantage of the demand occuring right now. Seems only fair for the ports to get in on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Big increase for not much value but not enough that its going to materially change the price of a cruise. Pity there is no refund for "staying on the boat". asquared17, Pattycruise, Montemy2419 and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobroo Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Since we are paying for the Nassau port renovations, do we passengers get a say that the spaceship idea is stupid and has no architectural relevance to the Bahamas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
