Crystal Cruises are removing fuel surcharges for cruises in 2009 as a result of the continuing drop in oil prices. New bookings will not be charged a fuel surcharge and for bookings under deposit, Crystal Cruises will adjust each booking within the next two weeks, eliminating the fuel charge. For those guests that have already paid in full, they will receive a shipboard credit in the amount of the accessed fuel surcharge. This revised policy will apply to all cruises departing after January 1 2009.
"The decreased price of crude oil is significant enough to warrant the elimination of the fuel surcharge at the present time," said Gregg Michel, president of Crystal Cruises. "We will continue to monitor fuel costs. Fortunately, the price trend is currently positive for us and for the consumer."
