Travel costs, itemized

Every cost, in writing.
No surprise fees.

Advertised price is not real price. Booking sites earn their commission on the headline number, so the headline number is the one they show you. We add back what the listing leaves out, and show our source for every figure.

Example Carnival Cruise Line, 7 nights, Caribbean, balcony, 2 guests
Advertised fare $899 per person, 2 guests $1,798

Gratuities $17 per person, per night + $238
Port fees and taxes $175 per person, the midpoint of a $100 to $250 range + $350

What you will actually pay $2,386

Mandatory costs add $588, or 32.7%. None of it is on the price you were shown.
