Disney Cruise Line Eliminates Fuel Surcharge For New Bookings

CELEBRATION, Fla., (December 1, 2008) – Disney Cruise Line announced today that the company is eliminating fuel surcharges for all new bookings, effective today. The decision comes as a result of decreasing fuel price trends within the marketplace.

For cruises that have already been booked, the following guidelines have been established for the refund of fuel supplements paid:

• If the closing price on the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange) of West Texas Intermediate fuel is below $70 a barrel two weeks prior to the beginning of the calendar quarter (dates specified below), the company will refund fuel surcharges paid in the form of an onboard credit.

• The determination of which quarter a cruise is in will be based solely on the sailing date. The entire cruise will be considered to be part of the quarter that the sailing date originates in.

• To see if you are eligible for the onboard credit, go to My Disney Cruise on or after the determination date. Retrieve your reservation and view the Invoice Information under Reservation Details.

The elimination of the fuel surcharge for new bookings applies to sail dates through the end of 2010. The company will continue to closely monitor fuel prices. Reinstatement of a fuel surcharge may be necessary in the future.
