20. The Price of Fuel

Sun Mar 22, 2026, 09:54 PM

Sunday

Has a lot to do with it. Since we're going on a cruise this summer in Europe, I've been watching some cruise bloggers. Even though these sailings are in the Caribbean, they're being impacted by the higher fuel costs for marine fuel. Those charges are either being passed along to cruisers as fuel surcharges, or the companies are cancelling cruises. La Lido Loca explains this pretty well.
