I've never paid much attention to the split between the cruise cost and the taxes/fees portion. Rather, it has been the bottom line pricing that gets my attention.
However, I'm now in the position of having booked a Nov 2015 cruise on opening day and will potentially "rebook" that same trip next week during our cruise aboard the Fantasy. Although rates have gone up some, the 10% OBB discount and the $200OBC from Disney makes it a better deal than just my opening day pricing and my OBC from my TA
Does anyone have experience with why or when the taxes on an invoice from a TA would be materially different than the taxes Disney shows on the website
Real Data from my invoice - this matches the opening day price on the DCL website, but I didn't capture the detail breakdown of fare vs. fee.
Cruise Date 11/20/2015 -- Disney Wonder from Galveston
Passenger 1 Fare: $1,246.00
Passenger 2 Fare: $1,246.00
Passenger 1 Tax / Fee: $214.09
Passenger 2 Tax / Fee: $214.09
TOTAL $2920.18
From the DCL website as of 06/05/2014
Same Cruise, same cabin
Passenger 1 Fare: $1,463.00
Passenger 2 Fare: $1,463.00
Combined Tax / Fee $148.18
TOTAL $3,074.18
Any ideas on why my invoice is so different than how the on-line booking system reflects the quotes.
thanks
