fuel surcharges
Evening All,
I responded to a post about Windstar's fuel surcharge, in which I commented that I thought it strange that they would institute the highest per diem charge considering it was an operation with sailing vessels. In short order it was pointed out to me that it was not the highest. I came back with the question; which line has the highest? To date I have not seen an answer, so I ask again, which line has the highest per diem fuel surcharge?

Paul Go to Google Groups and search on fuel and or surcharges and that should tell you, at least among the press releases here. Narrow it down to maybe the last week or so, shouldn't be too hard if you are more interested in this than I obviously am. |

-- "Kurt Ullman" replied to my post about fuel surcharges as follows; Go to Google Groups and search on fuel and or surcharges and that should tell you, at least among the press releases here. Narrow it down to maybe the last week or so, shouldn't be too hard if you are more interested in this than I obviously am. It is not so much that I am interested, but when I was challenged on my statement that Windstar had the highest per diem charge, I asked who did. Neither of the two who corrected me came back with an answer. Hence my post tonight. Paul Paul Hoffman Burlington ON or "Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known" Montaigne |

He is looking to make someone look bad. |

Also of interest one cruise line has not yet added a surcharge. Disney. -- Charles |

Paul -- Paul Hoffman Burlington ON or "Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known" Montaigne I don't know the highest but this is the most I have seen: Silversea Cruises became the latest operator to institute a fuel surcharge. Effective today, for all new 2008 bookings, a fee of $10 per person, per day, will be added |

To date I have not seen an answer, so I ask again, which line has the highest per diem fuel surcharge? The smaller lines like Windstar, Oceania, and Silversea which is charging the highest that I have been able to find so far, are saying their surcharges are higher because they are charged higher prices since they don't purchase as much fuel. Not sure I believe that though because fuel is purchased on the spot market based on the price the date of purchase. And that the highest priced cruise line seems to be charging the highest surcharge is suspicious. Seems to be based more on what they think they can get away with. -- Charles |

fuel surcharges
This was all I could readily find
NCL $7 Per Day For First Two Guests $3 Per Day For Additional Guests RCCL $5 Per Day For First Two Guests $70 Maximum Carniaval $5 Per Day For First Two Guests Silversea $10 Per Day For ALL Guests Windstar $8.50 Per Day For ALL Guests Regent Seven Seas $7.50 Per Day For ALL Guests As for Disney, they generally charge 40% higher than most cruise lines so they have a built in fuel surcharge, Mickey surcharge, Donald surcharge, Goofey surcharge, and a dozen or so other surcharges. |
