Information for Passengers
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING REFUND OF UNITED STATES HEAD TAX
Passengers who have paid Head Tax intending to remain in the United States over Sixty Days are, under U.S. Government Regulations, unable to claim refund of this Tax if they happen to depart before the expiration of the Sixty Days.
The Regulations also prescribe that when visitors who have not paid the Tax fail to satisfy the United States Immigration Inspector at port of arrival (whose decision is final) that they will depart from the United States within Sixty Days, they will be required to pay the Head Tax to the Purser prior to disembarkation.
NOTICE TO PASSENGERS - TAXI-CABS
Taxicabs are no longer permitted by the New York City Authorities to enter any City pier properties for the purpose of receiving or discharging passengers or baggage.

Mail received for passengers addressed care of our New York Office is assembled in readiness for distribution to passengers immediately on arrival, and when leaving the ship at New York passengers are requested to enquire for mail at the mail desk, which is located on the quay side.
