prescottbob Posted September 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just another FYI that probably most folks have viewed from the FT folks ( Financial Times). Tonnage pricing for cruise ship breakers are lowering their / ton payouts. No news there. BTW, this is not intended to be a ‘bad news’ posting, just the current state of the industry by one individual writer. Nothing we didn’t know of or weren’t aware of already. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/b0d09282-1559-4169-a3ec-92c12ebfb78e Be well.

iancal Posted September 21, 2020 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2020 No doubt the mass market lines will continue to retire ships for financial survival as the covid cruise lock down elongates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. Anybody who is dependent on anything to do with travel is hurting. And, in my opinion much of it is over-reaction based on fear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have those as well at times. "Dr. rkacruiser" recommends a couple glasses of a nice wine prior to bedtime. Personally, I enjoy Villa Maria, an excellent New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

Haha, yeah, I use a good Rioja Gran Reserva as remedy...we recently moved from Belgium to Sunny Spain, so that kept me busy. Hoping to start working again in 2 weeks.

You won’t like it then... at least 2 years of maturation in oak barrels ( mostly used French and Hungarian oak nowadays) and then minimum 3 Years of ageing in the bottle.

I Googled the wine that you mentioned and I saw the years of maturation in oak. I'll stick with Villa Maria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
