Robbo123 Posted April 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Going on 9th April to Barbados - booked over a year ago, when we were charge a fuel surcharge. I thought I read somewhere these would be refunded / added to cabin allowances if the fuel fell to under £40 a barrell, or something similar. Has anyone had that information confirmed at all, if so how? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had that information confirmed at all, if so how? Thanks Hi Steve, How do you tell if you paid the surcharge or not. We booked in March last year, but I don't remember anything about a fuel surcharge. I did see something about 6 weeks ago on Fred's website however that they were refunding any surcharges paid in the form of onboard credit. It'll be a nice surprise if there's extra credit. They were offering £150 when we booked so any extra will be welcome to stop the plastic from going into melt down. cheers Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That witht eh £150 will be very nice. See you Friday in the lounge, if not before Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merecat Posted April 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It should be on your account as a credit and there should be a letter in your cabin confirming this. It was when we went on Balmoral earlier this year so yours will probably be the same.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagalout1954 Posted April 7, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Passengers on Braemar 19 mar - 2 April had notes advising surcharge refund stuck on their cabin doors (I read one!), they definitely got it back by way of 'cabin spend'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That witht eh £150 will be very nice. See you Friday in the lounge, if not before Steve Steve Ours is the same as yours, thats another £85.

David & Sheila David & Sheila if it was £5, and a bottle a night, then that will last the 17 days! But you may want to spend the extra and go for a more top notch, in which case we will come and find you :) Have a good flight Steve & Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Posted April 8, 2009 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2009 In line with the falling price of oil in recent weeks, Fred. Olsen has eliminated all fuel cost surcharges on bookings made on or after 17th December 2008. Passengers who have already booked for 2009/10 will continue to be refunded the full amount of the fuel surcharge payment in the form of onboard spending credits as previously advised. Fred. Olsen operates a fleet of five ships mostly on cruises from the UK; however two are currently operating a winter season of fly/cruises in the Caribbean. Regards Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
