New port fees coming in 2024

[Fjcruiser]

Nassau and Freeport entering or leaving would be charged $30, while those leaving from a private island would pay $32.

Needs more explanation! Like

Does this mean $30 when we dock, $30 when we leaving & another $32 when we leave Coco Cay. Oh, is there $30 charged when we get to Coco Cay? That's either $92 or $124.

Need to be up front (transparent) when telling your future cruiser about increases in port fees.

The new fees imposed by the Bahamian government will go into effect January 2024. For Nassau, Freeport, and Bimini stops, the fee is $30; private island stops are $32. So, if you are on a RCL cruise ship stopping at Nassau and Coco Cay, the new port fees total $62. Think of it as a docking fee.

For clarity, this affects all cruise lines docking in the Bahamas, not just RCL and you are charged whether you get off or stay on the ship in port..
