Save Money on a Cruise Vacation – How to Get Your Fuel Surcharge Back
A year ago the cruise lines began charging fuel surcharge. Fuel surcharge was in the response to the rise in cruise oil prices. As the price of oil began to drop again, most of the cruise lines began implementing a formula for the phase out of the fuel surcharge. I will simplify the formula for you.

You don’t need to know what this formula is. If you booked a cruise and you paid the fuel surcharge you will automatically be refunded. Your refund will not be in cash but it will be in ship-board credit. In other words, if you have any bill to pay in the end of the cruise for purchases you made in board or for extra beverages that are not included on “all inclusive” concept, your bill will be reduced by the amount of the fuel surcharge credit.
But how to ensure if you will get credit or not, we don’t know the cruise fuel oil price. It’s easy to calculate it. Just cont backwards for 40 days before your cruise travel starts. Check cruise fuel oil price from any financial website. They will give you detailed graph each day for oil prices.
