Planning a cruise to Mexico soon? You might need to reassess your budget!
There's an undeniable thrill in planning a getaway, especially for those who love cruises for providing a chance to explore multiple locales in one journey. While cruises often bundle many dining, activities, and entertainment expenses, recent changes may affect your budget plans.
Starting July 1st, a new charge will apply to all passengers visiting Mexican ports, initially set at $42 but adjusted to $5 after negotiations. This fee will gradually rise over the coming years, settling at $21 per person by 2028. These adjustments will impact favorite ports like Cozumel and Puerto Vallarta.
Additionally, Hawaii will introduce a fee similar to hotel taxes, adding 11 percent on cruise cabins. Keep an eye out for more updates that could influence your future travels.
