that is true Pete...in general when I am doing any pricing, I include the cruisefare, port or non commissionable fares, taxes and the lovely new fuel surcharges...I don't separate it out...one price that includes everything...I personally don't like the so called "lead in " fares...then some agents tell about the taxes and fuel surcharges later....I agree with Pete...just give the price total.

That is exactly what we do, include it all. After all, it isn't as if they have the option to pick and choose. The unfortunate commentary on the industry is that you really have to explain all of it to the client as they will compare the price against an agency or cruise line that doesn't include all of it.

And therefore we have this board! Great place for people to really get the right scoop.
