Snorkel2Much Posted March 31, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2008 http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/custom/tourism/orl-carnival0108apr01,0,5580080.story Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....Under the agreement, Miami-based Carnival, the world's largest cruise operator, can continue to levy its fuel surcharge -- a $5 per day fee, up to $70 per passenger or $140 per cabin -- going forward. But the company must clearly disclose the fee to customers before they buy a trip and display the amount "directly above, beneath or next to the cruise-fare price.".......will refund $40 million to cruise passengers who were forced to pay extra fuel charges even after they had booked their trips, part of a deal the company will announce this evening to settle an investigation by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. The refunds will cover an estimated 1.1 million bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic City Cruiser Posted March 31, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Okay, talk to me like I'm a child....I booked an October 08 cruise in March. Am I getting OBC? Course, as I recall, it's only like $20 but that's several fruity drinks! Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted March 31, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 31, 2008 We just returned Saturday; wonder if they will mail us a check? Refunds will only be issued to bookings made as of Nov. 6, 2007. According to the settlement, those who qualify will receive a refund by check, credit card reimbursement or On-board Credit. So I guess it depends how you paid for the cruise.

anaslile Posted March 31, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am personally very happy. I should get it as an OBC as I'm already paid in full. I only get $35, but still that amounts to at least 5 foo-foo drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxamuus Posted March 31, 2008 #21 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I will get a refund for my March cruise, but have another booked for Dec. Wonder if they would just give me a OBC on my Dec. trip instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnivalCruzer Posted March 31, 2008 #22 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Do you think they will send out letters about this? I don't remember if I got one when they added they charge. I'm already paid in full for my October cruise (booked in Sept).....Mine would most likely be in OBC right? Will it show up somewhere online?
