jtl513 Posted April 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have been reading on the Princess site that Princess is REFUNDING the fuel charge for past passengers..Is Holland America going to do the same?? just wondering !!YES, for everyone who booked before it was announced (Nov 7th IIRC). How you get it back (OBC, credit to your credit card, etc) depends on when your sailing is/was. There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago, but I don't have the time right now to find it for you. (Sorry :( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 9, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm curious as to how long it will take for the refund to appear on our charge card for the cruises we just finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimjam Posted April 10, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Redroses27 ---Not really-- Were you invoiced for a fuel surcharge and did you pay for it already??? If not, but it is on your invoice, it should be credited before final payment. I think !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, but it is on your invoice, it should be credited before final payment. I think !!!! This is misleading. The refunds/rebates are applicable to only those bookings made before the November , 2007 announcement date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankathy Posted April 10, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm curious as to how long it will take for the refund to appear on our charge card for the cruises we just finished. Princess refunded ours on 4/7/2008. This was for our March 2, 2008 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted April 14, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Here's part of an e-mail I just received from Holland America: "As you know, Carnival Corporation & plc, under an agreement with the Florida Attorney General's Office, recently announced a voluntary refund of the company's fuel supplement. Because you initially booked your cruise prior to November 7, 2007, and you are sailing with Holland America Line between the dates of April 5, 2008, and June 23, 2008, your fuel supplement charge has been automatically removed from your account. (For any questions specific to your cruise billing or eligibility for adjustment, please contact your travel agent directly.)" First of all, we do NOT sail between the dates they show! We board in July. There's no credit showing on my charge card yet, so I'll just have to contact my TA to see what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live4cruises Posted April 14, 2008 #13 Share Posted April 14, 2008 We returned this morning from our stay in Hong Kong following our wonderful cruise on the Statendam. I was just now browsing the CC boards to see what I've been missing, when I saw a passing comment about fuel surcharges, and thought "I'd forgotten all about that!". No sooner thought than an e-mail ding, and - what do you know - a note from HAL stating that since we'd booked prior to last November, we would very soon see a refund for the fuel surcharge that was tacked on before our final payment. Good news after a darn near perfect trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted April 14, 2008 #14 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I too just got this email. Fo course we also have already received our credit.
