cle-guy Posted December 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2013 So I now wonder what Celebrity- the higher end of Royal will do? † ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL® RESERVES THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE A FUEL SUPPLEMENT OF UP TO $10 PER GUEST PER DAY ON ALL GUESTS IF THE PRICE OF WEST TEXAS INTERMEDIATE FUEL EXCEEDS $65.00 PER BARREL Celebrity has same policy, as do most lines. I haven't heard of any line actually imposing the fee though: †Celebrity Cruises reserves the right to impose a fuel supplement on all guests if the price of West Texas Intermediate fuel exceeds $65 per barrel. The fuel supplement for the 1st and 2nd guests would be no more than $10 per guest per day to a maximum of $140 per cruise; and for additional guests would be no more than $5 per person per day, to a maximum of $70 per cruise.

akowilm Posted December 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Price has been above $65 per barrel for some time now; $97 this week. In all my cruises, Celebrity has not imposed the fuel supplement. Any recent cruisers can confirm the same.

Love how it starts out from this † ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL® RESERVES THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE A FUEL SUPPLEMENT OF UP TO $10 PER GUEST PER DAY ON ALL GUESTS IF THE PRICE OF WEST TEXAS INTERMEDIATE FUEL EXCEEDS $65.00 PER BARREL to yours. Thank you for clearing that up. Appreciate your time. I wonder if it goes up from the todays price to $65.01. Understanding we are paying already in the cruise, that we agreed as our contract.

rucrazy Posted December 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Celebrity has same policy, as do most lines. I haven't heard of any line actually imposing the fee though: If memory serves me ....all the lines did use this as a reason to increase revenue when they first implemented this policy years ago .. the backlash was so loud from consumers that the industry just rolled it up in the pricing.. I believe they keep it posted "just in case" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted December 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2013 All cruise lines have this as part of their contract. I've cruised on several lines and have never had to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted December 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2013 We had a couple of cruises where it was imposed (probably 6 or 7 years ago). The earlier poster was right, the outcry was pretty loud (you could get hit with an additional $280 in charges days or weeks before you sailed) and so they just factored it into the pricing and still kept the potential of additional charges if the price goes haywire.
