Cruiselines are continuing to suspend fuel supplements in the wake of the drop in fuel prices.
Royal Carribean Cruises has revealed it is suspending fuel supplements for Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises sailings that depart on or after January 1, 2009.
From December 8, 2008 guests making new bookings will not be charged a fuel supplement. Guests already booked on sailings who have paid the full balance will receive an onboard credit. Guests who have not yet paid in full will have this taken off their outstanding balance.
Prestige Cruise Holdings, the parent company of Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises has removed all fuel charges from 2010 sailings. No supplements will be charged on new bookings while on existing reservations the fuel supplement will be removed from the guests final balance payment.
For voyages departing 2009 the company will continue to apply a $15 per guest per day fuel supplement. Any fuel supplement adjustments will be made on a quarterly basis and any refund will be made in the form of an onboard credit.
