Creator's Key Takeaways
You think those port fees and taxes on your cruise invoice go to the ports and governments? Think again.
The actual port fee in cosml might be $8, but the cruise line charges you $15 and pockets the difference.
It's legal. It's buried in the fine print. And it generates millions in pure profit disguised as fees you assume are mandatory.
When cruise lines do it, silence. Because cruise ships are registered in foreign countries and aren't subject to the same consumer protection laws.
