		<description>I am a bit worried about the rising fuel costs affecting all the travel industry but especially cruising as this is what I like to do best....cruise.

The cruise companies have already put a levy per day on cruises to offset this rising cost and if all airlines all follow American Airlines those cruises that fly to their ports will be paying a lot more for their vacations in the future.

Its probably something that we will have to budget for ie rising fuel costs and travel insurance into our overall costs for our vacations from now on.  Travel insurance though has been a must for me though due to travel delays and canceled flights for awhile now.

Travel agents are by far the best ones to deal with in this changing climate to get the best deals.
