Norwegian Cruise Line has followed Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean in ending fuel surcharges.
Fuel supplements will no longer apply to NCL bookings made on or after November 10 for sailings departing on or after January 1, 2010.
Passengers booked on 2009 sailings departing in 2009 will receive a refund of fuel supplements on the form of an on-board credit.
The criteria for refunds will be determined on a quarterly basis. Should the closing price on the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange) of West Texas Intermediate fuel be below $65 per barrel two weeks prior to the beginning of the calendar quarter, the company will refund fuel supplements.
