New Fuel Surcharges on Fred

[Dartmoordan]

I read on another forum that Fred are going to introduce a fuel Surcharge as a percentage of the total fare. So if you book a higher grade cabin then you pay more than someone in a lower grade cabin. Just wondered what you all thought, I'm against it as everyone is sailing the same distance. This new way of charging starts on January 19th.:eek:

An excellent explanation here of what the increase means :eek:

That a huge increase on top of the cruise price and why should it be linked to what you pay? :confused: Any supplement should be equal and have a limit IMHO.

 

I've been debating between a P&O cruise and a FO one.................guess which one I shall be booking. :D
