NASSAU, BAHAMAS – As cruise lines prepare for a passenger tax, Royal Caribbean International says it’s committed to The Bahamas.
It comes after some cruise lines said they weren’t given sufficient notice.
Royal Caribbean International Chief Product Officer Jay Schneider renewing RCI’s commitment to The Bahamas after it was revealed that some cruise lines were pushing back saying they were not given enough notice to prepare.
Schneider says the plan is to continue to partner with The Bahamas.
The Passenger Tax Amendment Bill will require cruise passengers leaving Nassau or Freeport to pay $23 instead of $18.
Those leaving by sea from a private island without visiting any other port in the country will pay $25.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism Chester Cooper said the tax is necessary, adding cruise lines were already given a seven-month delay.
Meanwhile, Schneider shot down suggestions the new tax could be a deterrent.
