The second Cruise Line to add a fuel charge

Will the rest follow suit? I am thinking that if gas does go over $4 a gallon, the cruise lines will have no choice. My advice is if you are going to book a cabin do it quick, to avoid the charge. Here is the email I just received.

Dear Travel Partner,

Because of the continued rapid escalation of fuel prices, Cunard Line and P&O (UK) will introduce a fuel supplement of $3.85 (USD) per person per day. These brands will also implement this fuel supplement on third and fourth passengers.

The new fuel supplements will apply to all new bookings effective May 10, 2010 and will apply to all departures from November 1, 2010. The fuel supplements will not exceed $154.00 per person per voyage.

For bookings made prior to May 10, 2010, no fuel supplement 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 supplement.

Please remember that all of your bookings made on or before May 9, 2010 will not be subject to the new fuel supplement. Most importantly, we want to thank you for your business and continuing support.

Sincerely,


Peter Shanks
President and Managing Director
