firefly333 Posted March 31, 2008 #26 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Here is another stock link, so it is official. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080331/clm289.html?.v=1 Press Release Source: Carnival Corporation & plc Carnival Corporation & plc to Voluntarily Rescind Fuel Supplement for Guests Booked Prior to November 7, 2007 Monday March 31, 6:01 pm ET MIAMI, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) has announced a voluntary refund of the company's fuel supplement for applicable U.S. bookings that were made prior to November 7, 2007, under an agreement with the Florida Attorney General's Office. The fuel supplement, announced November 7, 2007, was applied to all U.S. bookings for voyages departing on or after February 1, 2008, regardless of when the booking was made, for cruises on the Carnival Corporation & plc brands Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and The Yachts of Seabourn. However, this effective date allowed guests already booked at the time of the announcement the opportunity to cancel and receive a full refund. The company will now refund the fuel supplement for those guests who were already booked at the time the supplement was announced. Refunds for affected guests will be implemented based on cruise departure date according to the following schedule: -- For cruises departing on or prior to April 4, 2008, guests will receive a refund in the same form they used to purchase their cruise. -- For cruises departing from April 5, 2008 through June 23, 2008, guests will receive an on-board credit. -- For cruises departing on or after June 24, 2008, guests' bookings will be adjusted to remove the supplement. The fuel supplement remains in effect for all bookings made on or after November 7, 2007. The $5 per person per day fuel supplement applies only to the first and second guests in a stateroom and will not exceed $70 per person per voyage. Also, at the time the fuel supplement was announced, travel agents whose clients had existing reservations were offered $10 per booking in administrative compensation for notifying those clients of the supplement. Those travel agents will still receive the $10 per booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp traveler Posted March 31, 2008 #27 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I can't recall if we paid the fuel surcharge on our Thanksgiving cruise in November 2007 - anyone know the date that the charge was implemented? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anaslile Posted March 31, 2008 #29 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I can't recall if we paid the fuel surcharge on our Thanksgiving cruise in November 2007 - anyone know the date that the charge was implemented? Thanks!! All cruises sailing on 2/1/08 or after. So you wouldn't have had to pay it for your Turkey day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! Charge was announced Nov 7th, but didnt affect cruises until Feb 1st, 2008.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted March 31, 2008 #32 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Now I need to go in and see WHEN a few of our cruises were booked... Glad to see that our SATURDAY sailing will be the first to have OBC. Somehow OBC sounds better than a reduction in cruise fare. :) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShillyShally Posted March 31, 2008 #34 Share Posted March 31, 2008 ...at my E-Documents. I can't wait for the credit to show up on my OBC. Yippee! Me too - woohoo! And I'm glad it is OBC for me (sailing 6/21) as that way I won't spend it ahead of time! YEEHAW!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted March 31, 2008 #35 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Somehow OBC sounds better than a reduction in cruise fare. :) Tom Yes, and thanks to another thread that reminded me about specific drink costs, that OBC will buy me 14.7368 drinks of my favorite Dewar's White Label! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTxCruiser Posted March 31, 2008 #36 Share Posted March 31, 2008 We booked 10-16-07 for June 1, 08, 2 rooms. BUT, in Jan we changed our rooms and added a 3rd room for some friends. I wonder if it will go on the original booking for 2 of the rooms, or I am gonna get screwed out of it. It would be nice to have a little OBC.

pe4all Posted March 31, 2008 #37 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Please correct me if I am wrong - but I just checked my booking date for my Dec. Miracle cruise. I booked 9/7/07 - that means I get another credit for that cruise? 3 cruises, 3 fuel refunds. DH will be shocked, cause he constantly makes fun of me for booking so far in advance! Since I did all the work, I think I should keep the rebate. Any opinions? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp traveler Posted March 31, 2008 #38 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks for the prompt reply!! I sure hope Carnival just refunds it, cuz my TA has been kind of a jerk lately, too bad he always has the best pricing, keeps me hand cuffed:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted March 31, 2008 #39 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I guess that will mean a refund of the $50.00 on the second leg of our Imagination cruise 02-02-08. The first leg was 01-28-08 and was not affected. We booked the Splendor (4 day) and the Freedom (8 day) on 10/15/07. Does this mean, even though we have not sailed them yet....because we booked them before the announcement, we will get the OBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do care about the market, I just honestly don't understand why an agreement document with Cahill's signature posted on the FL AG's website wasn't "official" enough.
