Another increase in fuel supplements

Received this last night:

June 4, 2008 Dear Travel Partner: Because of the continued rapid escalation of fuel prices, six of Carnival Corporation & plc’s brands, including Cunard Line, will increase their current fuel supplement from $7 to $9 (USD) per person per day. The fuel supplement for third and fourth passengers will increase from $2 to $4 (USD) per person per day. The new fuel supplement will apply to all new bookings effective June 12, 2008. The fuel supplement will not exceed $126 per person per voyage for the first and second passengers, and $56 per person per voyage for the third and fourth passengers in a stateroom. For bookings made from April 21, 2008 to June 11, 2008, the current fuel supplement of $7 (USD) per person for the first two passengers, and $2 (USD) per person per day for the third and fourth passengers will apply. We regret having to take this action, but fuel price increases have continued, and we now find it necessary to implement a modest increase in the supplement. Please remember that all of your bookings made on or before June 11, 2008 will not be subject to the supplement increase. Most importantly, we want to thank you for your business and continuing support. Sincerely, Jan Swartz Senior Vice President, Customer Services and Sales

Another good reason to book during the beginning of the cruise sale!

So this applies to all Carnival owned lines right? Still going to be cheaper to cruise than fly and stay though!

Yes, this is pretty much across the Carnival brands as a whole.
