Why do cruise ships not stay in port?
Simple. Most tourists stop spending money in each port after a couple days. So the ports want docked ships out after a short stay for other ships to take their place and spend money again. We're doing a Canada/NE coast cruise that spends the first night docked at the port, Quebec City.
How much does a cruise pay to port?
How much are port charges and taxes? You should usually find that port charges and taxes together come to around 10–20% of the base cruise fare. However, this isn't a hard and fast rule — some cruises have been known to have port charges and taxes totaling nearly half of the base cruise fare.
What happens if your cruise ship leaves you in another country?
Find a port agent. In cases when cruisers are late returning to the vessel, the ship's crew will often remove the passengers' essential items -- passports, cell phones and medication -- from the ship to leave with the port agents. These officials can help you with contacting your ship and making travel arrangements.
