Carnival announced this afternoon that all of their North American brands will suspend charging fuel supplements effective with sailings December 17, 2008, and after.
Passengers who have paid the supplement will have it refunded in the form of an onboard credit. Passengers who have not yet made their final payment will have their invoices adjusted.
If the price of oil should again exceed $70 per barrel, Carnival said they reserve the right to reinstate the fuel supplement on current bookings.
