As a frequent cruiser to AK, I’m against this tax as I’m against new taxes in general. Or taxes period but that’s a topic for another thread.
But I think AK can pull this off as it is a unique destination that really has no equal. It’s not like the cruise lines could select an “almost” Alaska destination for their customer base.
Cruises to AK are very popular and I’m guessing very profitable judging from the fares I’ve paid on my cruises.
For every cruise ship or cruise line who pulled out of AK in protest, I’m guessing their are a bunch of others who would gladly take their place.
