Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to give hats off to Royal Caribbean on this because they are the very first cruise line to talk about how they're going to manage this.

All international travelers stopping in any Mexico cruise port will be paying this um tax. It's $5 per passenger.

Royal Caribbean has come out and say the way that they are going to handle it is that if you book your cruise after June 1st of 2025, they are going to add it to your taxes and part fees.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your cruise before June 1st, 2025 to avoid the new Mexico cruise tax being added to your fees.
Be aware that the tax will increase to $10 per person in August 2026 and $21 per person from July 2027 onward.
