Cruising to Mexico? This fee just DOUBLED and will continue to rise. #travelmexico

If your Royal Caribbean cruise stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya or another port in Mexico, one of the government fees associated with your cruise just increased. Mexico’s Non-Resident Duty for foreign cruise passengers doubled from $5 to $10 per person on August 1, 2026. Under the current schedule, it increases again to $15 per person on July 1, 2027 and then $21 per person beginning August 1, 2028. For most cruisers this won’t be enough to change a vacation, but it’s another cost worth understanding when you’re looking at the taxes and fees attached to a cruise fare. #RoyalCaribbean #MexicoCruise #CruiseNews #CruiseTips #CruisePlanning
