Jenna1983 Posted March 11, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Aww. I should be getting my $15 back from my cruise in February, right? I paid that sucker in full before the announcement was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockwood84 Posted March 11, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2008 We booked a cruise for 6/29/08 on Oct 15, and got a price drop on Nov 15. What do you think? Are we free of the surcharge or do we pay it?? (We haven't made our final payment yet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsjc Posted March 11, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2008 we sail next week, booked back in March 07, then got hit with the e-mail(11/21/07) stating $70 times two because of two rooms. We'll see next week if we have an onboard credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txwildflower2002 Posted March 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2008 We won! See persistance does pay! W have put down our deposit befor nov 17 and they added the charge to the bill. We don't cruise until december, but we are gettin a $70 OBC. Thanks RCCL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurs2 Posted March 11, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder how this will be handled if you booked prior to Nov, but haven't made final payment yet. Will they just take it off of the final payment amount due or will it still be OBC? Questions, questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirwinston Posted March 11, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I was not expecting this but I look forward to my OBC in less that two weeks... :D Tom in Long Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave8920 Posted March 11, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2008 :( I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but an updated newsreport has indicated that Carnival was not included in todays decision......The Carnival Corp name was released in error. But let's hope they will follow suit tomorrow...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraJ Posted March 11, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder if that includes the charter I was on. They made us pay it BEFORE Feb. 1st. Our sailing Started in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuasiTova Posted March 11, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Is Celebrity doing this as well? Aren't they owned by RCCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted March 11, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Is Celebrity doing this as well?Aren't they owned by RCCL? Yes, all the Royal Caribbean brands are refunding the surcharge for those who had made bookings before it was announced. This includes Celebrity and Azamara. Don't worry about Carnival though, their announcement should be coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxon41 Posted March 11, 2008 #17 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have faith that Carnival will follow -- thanks to all who wrote the AG. Snorkel, where are you - I think it is time to celebrate!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monchhichi Posted March 11, 2008 #18 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Awwww, what's up with Carnival not doing this? Hope they refund my money. That would really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyoo Posted March 11, 2008 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I can a few drinks of the day on that $80 dollars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted March 11, 2008 #21 Share Posted March 11, 2008 So, if this is true, and Carnival follows along, that means I'll be getting back $140 (2 cabins) from our Dec. '07 cruise, and $70 obc from our upcoming April cruise, (which we booked in Sept. '07) and $80 obc from our Dec. '08 cruise? (which I booked in June of '07?) Yeah baby!!

joybaby Posted March 11, 2008 #23 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Bill McCollum, the Fl Attorney General, came through for many of us. If you reserved before the fuel surchage was announced, you will recieve an onboard credit for that amount. See: http://www.forbes.com/markets/feeds/...fx4755207.html Thank you Bill, I will enjoy the extra money for the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deefar Posted March 11, 2008 #25 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder if I will get a refund? I sailed twice with Carnival, Jan. 29, 2007 and Jan. 12, 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
