Cunard Raising Fuel Surcharges - Is this just the beginning?

Cunard announced that they are raising fuel supplements from $3.85 to $6.00 per person, per day.  The supplement will be capped at $200 per person, per voyage. 

This supplement will be applied to each guest, including 3rd and 4th passengers in a stateroom whether an adult or child. 

The increased supplement will apply to all new bookings made on or after 12/31/10 for sailings departing on or after 4/14/11. 

This is the first cruise line to increase their fuel supplement.  Will this be just the start of having to pay increased fuel supplements for all cruise lines?
