In fact, the Variable Concession Fee and Cruise Passenger Charge alone\u2014being awarded directly to the Government\u2014are more than all port charges in most Caribbean ports, and that excludes the Port Charges going to the Company, which will also likely increase, including a Security Fee to be implemented in 2020<g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">.<\/g><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">Though<\/g> we certainly endorse the Government\u2019s aim to secure its long-term economic future, we urge you to consider the implications these exorbitant increases could have on that outlook. Even in the short-term picture, the costs in 2019 and 2020 already would greatly impact cruise lines \u2013 not only because those costs would cause many lines to reevaluate their itinerary planning decisions moving forward, but also because many of the cruise calls within that window have already been confirmed and sold at the past prices, which would likely lead to a loss for cruise lines, your
