Fuel Supplements Being Eliminated
By Dave | October 13, 2008
Carnival issued a statement on Friday stating that it will eliminate the fuel supplement on all new 2010 bookings. However, a price increase on those cruises will occur.
For those who have cruises booked in 2008 or 2009, there’s a chance your fuel supplement charge might be refunded as well. Basically, if the price of oil is at $70 or below for 25 days prior to 5 days before you sail, your fuel supplement will be refunded in some form of an onboard credit. If you booked a 2010 cruise already, you will follow these conditions as well.
The current surcharge is $9 per person per day (max $126) and $4 per person per day for third and fourth guests.
This is being done so guests won’t have to unnecessarily pay for fuel when oil prices are low. This seems like a good move by Carnival. It seems pretty fair to me. If prices are low, you get your charge “refunded” (in the form of an OBC). If they’re high, you pay. This is much better than making the surcharge permanent. Of course, if oil prices never drop to $70/barrel, the charges will be “permanent.” I’m guessing once 2010 rolls around, there will be no fuel surcharges, just higher base fares. Is this correct? If so, it seems like a better method of charging passengers in my opinion.
