| BLC fuel surcharge

BLUE LAGOON CRUISES HAS BEEN FORCED TO DELAY
the introduction of a new FJ$25 per person
per day fuel surchargeuntil 23 May because
of contractual obligations with wholesalers.
Originally effective from next Sunday, the
new levy will be collected from passengers at
check-in for all travellers aged 15 and over.
BLC ceo Tim Stonhill admitted that the
impost was “distasteful and unpopular,” but
said the cruise operator had no choice
because of high fuel prices.
Agents are being asked to clearly advise all
passengers of the charge and write it on
vouchers and itineraries before departure.
