Cruise News

Well it seems like everyday I have to post on another fuel surcharge by one of the cruise lines.  This time Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara Cruises are upping their fuel surcharges, less than two months after the last increase.  The high cost of oil is affecting everyone and the cruise lines are being hit hard.  While not unexpected, it is certainly not welcome, but given the state of the economy and the oil industry, cruising still gives a great bang for the buck.

Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises are increasing the surcharge from $8 per person per day to $10.  This will apply to all bookings made on or after June 30, 2008.  The new rate will apply to the first and second passenger in a cabin while the third and fourth passengers in a cabin will pay $5 per person, per day.

Azamara Cruises will be rising even higher.  Their current fuel surcharge of $8 per person per day will increase to $15 and will also apply to all bookings made on or after June 30, 2008.
