Fuel surcharge-is it being charged?

[Springwater21]

On the NCL booking site, in small print, they state they can charge a fuel surcharge if crude oil goes above 65.00 a barrel..its been above that for quite awhile. Does anyone know if they have been charging the surcharge and what the charge amounts to? Just curious!! :confused:

No...nor do any of the US-based mass market cruise lines.

no and chances are they will not re-instate if unless fuel goes up much higher. They just have to make customers aware of the policy.

thanks for the replies. I knew about it, but hadn't heard anyone mention it..one less thing to worry about..

I was wondering this myself today... saw a little more info about how they 'could' do this, but I don't think they will..

 

For Q4 sailings, the Sept 17th West Texas Intermediate price is what they go by... and though it was above the $65 level ($73.16), its nowhere near the price spike that triggered the earlier fuel charges and touched up to the $140's in July of '08 before falling like a rock shortly thereafter.

Not presently. However, if the price of fuel spikes considerably suddenly, the fuel surcharge will reappear... The cruise lines are leaving that option open as they don't wish to swallow future spikes in fuel prices...
