I asked that same question in an email to Mark Conroy last night. We'll see if he replies. By announcing that the fuel surcharges have been eliminated from all cruises after 1 January and given that those who have already sailed are past history, the Regent policy (as opposed to that announced by Holland America, etc.--effective for all cruise that haven't sailed) creates a small annoyed class of those of us who will still sail in 2008 knowing that the fees are gone days later (we are on the 29 Dec Voyager cruise, as well).
