CCL then RCL and Still Waiting for DCL

[SamIAm21]

Carnival announced it would drop its fuel surcharge for all newly booked sailings and Royal Caribbean followed suit late last week. Why not DCL? Also, both Carnival and Royal have stated that although their recent quarters were fairly strong due to lower fuel costs, they have seen a "significant" drop off in the number of new bookings. They lowered earnings guidance going forward. Look for deals out of both of those cruise lines.

So, now I see this new deal from Disney, the bounce back offer. That's all well and good for those already sailing early next year, but what about "new" bookings and those fuel surcharges?

From what I understand, DCL will lower (or remove) the fuel surcharge if the price of a barrel of oil stays below $70.00 for a period of 30 days - so it should be soon.

Regardless, I think this will only affect new reservations.
