Saw this on the HAL forum and thought I would share with everyone. HAL has the announcment on their web site. I didn't see anything on Carnivals yet. I guess this was sent out to TAs.

 

Not to surprising.

Dear travel Partner,

Because of the continued rapid escalation of fuel prices, six of

Carnival Corp. & plc's brands-Carnival cruise lines, Costa cruises,

Cunard line, Holland America line, Princess cruises and the Yachts of

Seabourn- will increase their current fuel supplement from $5 to $7

(USD) per person per day.

These brands will also implement a fuel supplement on third, fourth and

fifth passengers of $2 per person per day.

 

 

The new fuel supplements will apply to all new bookings effective April

21, 2008.

The fuel supplement will not exceed $98 per person per voyage for the

first and second guests and $28 per person per voyage for the third,

fourth and fifth guests in a stateroom.

 

 

For bookings made from November 7 2007 to April 20, 2008 the original

fuel supplement of $5 per person per day will apply.

 

 

We regret having to take this action, but fuel price increases have

continued and we now find it necessary to implement a modest increase in

the supplement.

 

 

Please remember that all of your booking made on or before April 20 2008

will not be subject to the supplement increase. Most importantly, we

want to thank you for your business and support for all our brands.

 

 

Sincerely,

Bill Harber

 

 

Director of Marketing
