Disney Cruise Line Fuel Surcharge Decision

I received the following email today from Disney. They were the only ones that did not add a fuel surcharge last Fall.

Due to continually rising fuel prices, Disney Cruise Line® is implementing a fuel surcharge.

The surcharge* is $8 per person, per day for the first two Guests in a stateroom and $3 per day for all other Guests. It is effective for new bookings only made on or after May 28, 2008. Additionally, the surcharge will be capped at $112 each for the first and second Guests in a stateroom and $42 each for all other Guests in the stateroom.

Cruise Line Fuel Supplement - Round 2

From Carnival Corporation & PLC - April 7, 2008

Because of the continued rapid escalation of fuel prices, six of Carnival Corporation & plc’s brands, including Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Lines 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 supplements will not exceed $98 per person per voyage for the first and second passengers, and $28 per person per voyage for the third, fourth and fifth passengers 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 bookings 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 continuing support for all our brands.
