Reply #78: Oil bobbing a few pennies north and south of $80.00 [View All]

I hope it stays below there for a while.

We booked a cruise in the Caribbean for 7 days, way back in April. We paid it off and got our final documents in July. Then I started reading the fine print in the agreement (which we'd never seen before). There's a clause in there that says for any day of the cruise that the price of oil is above $80, passengers will be charged a $25.00 per day fuel surcharge. Per passenger.

What originally looks like a good deal could wind up costing hundreds of dollars more. I don't know if my BIL and SIL next door noticed that or not. We're going with them to celebrate their 45th anniversary. They're not rich by any means, but they also paid for their son and his wife, their daughter and her two kids. They'll really take a hit.
