Creator's Key Takeaways
Mexico is implementing a tax for all cruises that are coming into any Mexico port.
They did drop the price down to only $5 per person, but that tax goes into effect July 1st, 2025.
The $5 tax is per person, not per person per port. So it is a onetime $5 per person fee.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Book before July 1st, 2025 to avoid the $5 tax if you are a California resident.
✓Check if you reside in California to see if you are exempt from the retroactive fee.
