1cat4jan Posted September 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2005 We once had a restaurant tack on a quarter for "fuel surcharge" one winter when heating costs had hit an all time high. I know that's not what you were referring to - but you can't believe how ticked off that quarter got me. I had it removed from the bill and complained to the headquarters that it was a tacky thing to do. Today, Chi Chi's is out of business in the Milwaukee area. I guess they really needed that quarter.

ferret Posted September 20, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2005 yeah, my cruise on Crystal and a $4/day added fuel surcharge. says in the fine print. http://www.crystalcruises.com/cruise_fares.aspx?CID=6215 I wonder if they'll credit it if the price of fuel goes down?

rkacruiser Posted September 21, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yes, during the fuel crisis in the early 1970's, Home Lines added a small fuel surcharge to the ticket price. Interestingly, in the 3rd Quarter Conference Call for Carnival Corporation this week, one of the analysts asked Mickey Arison if CCL was considering a fuel surcharge. He replied that one might be necessary at some point in the future if fuel costs gets totally out of sight. But, for now, one is not necessary.
