nightster Posted December 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Today I have just checked my cruise personalizer to see if my shareholder OBC had been applied. I found my balance owing is now 71GBP, is this due to Princess now applying a fuel supplement. My cruise is on the Crown 1/21/2012 has anyone else seen this. This charge was not there when I last checked a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightster Posted December 23, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It seems I jumped to a hasty conclusion, I e-mailed Princess and got this reply:- It seems that when we added your shareholders benefits it knocked out the 3 day sale promotion for yourself. So panic over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2travel77 Posted December 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I have not heard any mention of charging a fuel supplement They do state in fine print that they can charge up to $9/day for fuel supplement if the price of light sweet crude oil is above $70 per barrel. But I don't think it has been charged lately even though they can now do so according to the current oil price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think it has been charged lately even though they can now do so according to the current oil price. That fine print has been there for several years. A couple of years ago, the price of oil rose about $70 per barrel and is still there. However, Princess and most other lines have decided not to implement the surcharge yet.

They have raised the listed price of a cruise instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toberman Posted December 23, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 23, 2011 They have raised the listed price of a cruise instead. I've always believed it's been added to the cruise fare - just like the airlines add a fuel charge to the price of a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
