So I wonder if that surcharge would be implemented on ALL cruise fares, even the ones on the newest ships (Mardi Gras, Celebration, and soon Jubilee). Those ships are powered by more economical LNG. Would the passengers on those ships be sharing the pain with the passengers on the older petroleum fueled ships?
Now THATS an interesting question! Mebbe it depends on the bean counters attitude.
