MSC announced that their fuel supplement will be eliminated on sailings (booked in North America) April 1, 2009 and after. All currently booked passengers will have their accounts adjusted downward to remove the surcharge.
Passengers sailing from January 1 through March 31, 2009 will have the surcharge refunded in the form of an onboard credit should the price of West Texas Intermediate fuel close at or below $65 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on December 18, 2008.
