Rowan555 Posted April 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2008 As soon as I found out the fuel surcharge was going up in a few weeks, I called my PVP to book a cruise for next April. Had to save that forty bucks, you know! Man, I will look for ANY excuse to book a cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frick_&_Frack Posted April 8, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I just got off the phone with my Mom...we all had just booked our 2009 cruises last week. Boy, were we happy. :D (not that it would have stopped us from booking 2009 anyway...but a couple of bucks in our pocket is always a good thing) :D Happy Cruising!!

citcatt1 Posted April 8, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2008 April 7, 2008 Fuel Supplement Increase Effective for all new bookings on April 21, 2008, the fuel supplement will increase from $5 to $7 per guest, per day (based on double occupancy). In addition, a fuel supplement of $2 per guest per day will apply to third/fourth/fifth guests. The fuel supplement was necessitated by significant rises in fuel prices which have dramatically increased Carnival’s operating costs. Unfortunately, we could not continue to shoulder this huge cost burden and it was necessary to implement a supplement to partially offset a portion of soaring fuel costs. Implementing this fuel supplement was a difficult decision and we hope that our guests will understand that this is a necessary step in today’s challenging economic environment. Voluntary Refund Carnival announced a voluntary refund of the company’s fuel supplement on March 31, 2008 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. 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 eliminate the fuel supplement.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
