Fuel Charges Hit Cruises, Royal Cancels 20 Sailings… Refund Drama

Creator's Key Takeaways
Well, I speculated last week that we could potentially see the price of cruising going up because cruise lines were going to exercise the right that they put in all of their contracts to say that if their fuel cost goes way up, they can pass that fuel cost on to the cruiser in the form of a fuel search charge.
Now, our next story also deals with cruising being disrupted by the conflict over there in the Middle East, the war.
Now, fortunately, Royal Caribbean is pretty good in these situations. They're giving people, you know, rebooking on a different ship option. They're given a full refund option.
Now, you can go to the private island Great Serb Key and your drink package will still work.
