NCL Increases Fuel Supplements

Seemingly determined to maintain their status as having the highest fuel supplements in the industry, NCL today announced they would be raising their fuel supplement for new bookings as of June 20. The new daily supplement will be $11/person per day for the first and second passengers in a cabin, and $5/person per day for any additional passengers in the same cabin. Unlike other lines, NCL doesn't place a per-sailing maximum on the supplement.

The only mainstream lines yet to be heard from this week are the two RCI brands - Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Anyone starting a pool on when they'll chime in?

Another Fuel Supplement Increase

Carnival Corporation today announced a further increase in the fuel supplements for their brands. Starting with bookings made on June 12, the supplement will increase to $9 per person per day for the first two passengers in a cabin, up from $7/person per day, to a maximum of $126 per person per sailing. For additional passengers, the supplement is doubling to $4 per person per day, up to a maximum of $56/person per sailing.

This increase will be applicable to their 6 brands which are widely marketed in the US: Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Yachts of Seabourn, Costa and Cunard.
