Cruise Lines are Fuelling the Fire!

BEWARE! CHARGE AHEAD!

As of today P&O and Cunard have introduced a Fuel Surcharge on all bookings made for sailings from 1st November 2010. This will be at a charge of £2.50per person per day, up to a maximum of £100 per trip. This applies to every passenger even 3rd and 4th but the good news is if you have a free childs place the charge will not apply.

My question to all you cruisers is what are your thoughts on this new charge? Will it affect who you decided to cruise with, or if you cruise at all?

With the increase in Fuel costs and the Economy the way that it is at the moment are the cruise lines justified in passing this down to the "people who matter" being the passengers who purchase the cruises?

Cunard quote that "We regret having to take this action, but fuel price increases have continued, and we now find it necessary to implement a modest supplement,"

Your cruise agent will advise you on the charge when you are getting prices for your desired cruise. Please be advised that this cannot be discounted and therefore will be added onto the final discounted price.

It will be very interesting to see when Royal Caribbean Cruises follow the band wagon....I will, or course, keep you posted!

Exotics 2011/12 Launch dates are here!

As you may or may not know, over the past couple of weeks the cruise lines have been launching their 2011 dates for Mediterranean cruises.


Well, the time has finally arrived where we have been given, albeit provisional; launch dates for the 2011/12 Exotics/Caribbean and Alaska sailings for Princess, Cunard and P&O.

So, if you fancy something different next year to the normal Med sailings then you will need to put these dates in your dairy!

Princess Cruises Alaska 2011: 28th June


Princess Cruises Caribbean 2011/12: 12th July

P&O Cruises & Cunard World Cruise 2012: 15th July

Princess Cruises Exotics 2011/12: TBC

These are subject to change though so do keep your eye on my blog for any updates if they come through.

Fiji

I personally feel it would be nice if they maybe introduced new destinations like Malaysia, Mauritius or Fiji for 2011 as, although they have fantastic exotic itineraries, they are becoming perhaps slightly repetitive?

What other destinations would you like Princess to introduce for their Alaska, Caribbean or Exotic programme - where would you really like to go that the cruise lines currently dont touch on?
