Important Fuel Surcharge Update
Due to the unprecedented rise in fuel costs around the world in late 2007 and 2008, many tour operators, airlines and cruise lines implemented fuel surcharges. As the price of fuel has begun to decline, many suppliers are now reducing or eliminating the fuel surcharges. The information below is updated frequently as developments warrant. Curves Travel regrets having to pass along these additional charges when they are levied; however, we cannot be responsible for these fees when they are levied except to do our best to notify our clients and collect them on behalf of the suppliers. Like all taxes associated with your tickets, fuel surcharges and airport fees are subject to change without notice.

In working with the Florida Attorney General's office, both Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd and Carnival Corporation & PLC have voluntarily agreed to eliminate their fuel supplement on bookings made prior to the announcement of the fuel surcharges in November 2007. For details on the elimination, click here.
