Gas fee

[normalman]

I'm looking to book a last minute cruise and the Carnival web site talks about a charge of $9 per day per person if oil goes over a $75 (it just broke a $100). Does anyone know if Carnival's done this?

None of the cruiselines, including Carnival, have done this --- yet. Language is in your cruise contract to protect them if they decide to add the fuel surcharge to existing and fully paid for reservations. I'd prefer to spend the $$ on another DOD (or two :o) per day, but it will not affect my decision to cruise.

 

Good luck! :)

Your risk is pretty low if it is a last minute cruise. Oil has been over $70 for a year or more and they have not implemented the fuel surcharge.

So far it has not happened but could happen depending upon where oil prices go from here.

I read this morning on the Carnival web site that OBC is used for on board expenses and can’t be used for the fuel surcharge. I was hoping that our OBC would cover the extra fee if it was added. Like everyone else I am hoping the surcharge does not get reinstated.
