Why does the SB Nekton cruise cost more

[CAPT HOOK]

than their regular cruises?
The Nekton site lists the Cay Sal Banks as $1795!

I believe that the ScubaBoard trip price includes all of the fees and taxes as well as the base price. If you do the math, the price is pretty much the same.

I didn't know there was a SB Neckton cruise

Maybe they don't want to take a beating on the booze and liquor?

You already bring your own alki to Neckton. Unless SB is providing?

I'm just posting about something that I know nothing about- the usual internet stuff.

DiveMaven's right. That same trip last year cost us exactly $1995pp even though the itinerary page listed it at $1795. The people at Nekton make that really clear when you call. Here's why:

Northwest Bahamas, Cay Sal Bank and Cay Lobos Bahamas Cruises

Bahamian Government charter fee of 4% of the cruise fare
Bahamian Government departure fee of $15 per person
US Passenger vessel excise tax of $3 per person
$5 Port Everglades Port Charge
$5 Port Everglades Port Security Fee
$10 Fort Lauderdale Saturday ground transfer fee
$100 Fuel surcharge

And that's the Cash price. If the price quoted on the SB page was the CC price, it's about $60 more.

at the top of this web site there is an advertisment.
it shows a scuba board . com trip on the nekton to the cay sals.
sjspeck did a good job of showing all the costs.
i've been trying to get one of my dive buddies to go with me.
he also made a comment about the cost.
i feel it is a good trade.
i'm wondering if they will pair me up for a cabin if i travel solo.
