Carnival Corp removes fuel surcharges

Carnival Corp. today said it will suspend its fuel supplement for its six North American brands due to declining fuel prices.

The fuel supplement suspension applies to all voyages departing on or after Dec. 17, and the supplement, which is up to $9 per person per day -- except for one brand which is up to $15 per person per day -- will be refunded in the form of a ship board credit.

The six brands include Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland American Line, Princess Cruises and The Yachts of Seabourn.

The fuel supplement suspension applies to the following brands: Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and The Yachts of Seabourn.

A refund of the fuel supplement will be made in the form of a shipboard credit for all bookings within the final payment period for departures on or after December 17, 2008. All bookings outside of the final payment period for departures on or after December 17, 2008 will be adjusted to remove the fuel supplement and guests will be provided with a revised final payment amount.

This will be effective for all voyages departing on or after December 17, 2008
