There has been a lot of discussion in the marketplace about cruise lines adding fuel surcharges to their rates. While no one likes surprises, it is important to note that most lines have absorbed staggering fuel cost increases for the last 18 months and are now in effect "correcting" for the future prices. In actuality most surcharges are in the range of $6 per day. One could say that this equates to one fancy drink with umbrella per day.
In perspective, I just opened my electric bill. My actual electric was $88.30 but the surcharges added another $20 plus to the bill. That sounds like almost a 25% surcharge. And hotels and rental cars - forget about it! So a $42 surcharge on a $1200 one week cruise is not so bad after all.
