Earlier this week Carnival Corporation consisting of: Carnival, Costa, Cunard, Princess, Holland America and every other cruise line operated by Carnival added a fuel surcharge to their cruises. They increased the 1st and 2nd passenger rate by $5.00 per person, per day capped off at $ 70.00 per person. I just got a memo that British Airways is increasing their fuel surcharge another $ 20.00 per flight.
Just an example of taxes and fees and blah, blah, blah...
Roundtrip air from New York to London: Ticket cost is $ 114.50 each way. Add taxes and fees $ 527.29 roundtrip.
Cruise 7 night Alaska cruise price $ 719.00 per person. With taxes and the new surcharge $ 1083.74. In some cases on short cruises the taxes were more than the actual cruise.
You can bet when gas goes down, these surcharges will NOT go away!
