You pay port fees as part of your cruise fare, not sure why you are even mentioning it. And daily gratuities are charged by all the major lines. You can prepay them if you don’t want to worry about the charges at the end.

Not sure why you are saying be prepared for daily fees and port fees. That is charged on every ship and on every cruise line. Not only Norwegian.
