Re: Disney Cruise Line Announces Fuel Surcharge

Oh WOWZA! I am SO thankful that I just booked my cruise & didn't wait. Anyone considering a cruise better book before May 28th!

Unfortunately this was bound to happen eventually. I'm getting nervous to see what airfare is going to look like during the next year.

Unfortunately all the Cruise Lines had to implement this surcharge.

I totally understand. Just came off a Carnival 'Fun Ship' in Jan. They charged the same $8.00 per person per day. It is just amazing how the gas/oil prices are killing us. You see it already with shipping of goods. It is bad in my field where we get the same reimbursement from insurance companies as we did 7 years ago. Diesel is almost $4.50 a gallon...takes over a $100.00 to fill our trucks when they are 3/4 down!

Re: Disney Cruise Line Announces Fuel Surcharge

Well, we are spending something like 18% of the US oil consumption on the military, largely in the middle east. We should be fueling the war with Iraqi oil at Iraqi prices.

The fares to MCO from here have jumped 13% due to increased costs, and we are already paying a fuel surcharge on our Alaska cruise next week.

The incresase have to get passed on, so that results in higher prices arcoss the board for EVERYTHING. And there is no end in sight.

I drive about 25-30k miles a year in my business and my automobile expense is my highest business by far, including $12k annual health insurance costs!
