Now up $10K since we signed the contract in October. Prices are also up on all of the upgrades. Glad we acted when we did. On our build, lumber pricing was going up $5k every two to three weeks. We locked in. Unfortunately, they say appliances continue to rise and we are waiting on our design center appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, really good. Got a good laugh. It’s not hard, we see them on all media channels nearly every day. Except where Fredo resides, the media doesn’t seem to care too much for them either. They don’t even get along with each other. Only people who defend them seem to be NY’ers. M8 Edited January 12, 2021 by Milwaukee Eight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted January 12, 2021 #34 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Don't worry, all the people and the businesses are coming back. Gov. Cuomo is going to put on an Amy Schumer and Chris Rock concert. Watch NYC roar back to life. "New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) claims that he will bring back the state’s economy through concerts and performances from high-profile celebrities such as actor-comedians Amy Schumer and Chris Rock, and actor Hugh Jackman. Governor Cuomo said that New York needs to transition its economy to “the post-COVID world” during his State of the State address on Tuesday, adding “almost no one has been hurt more by COVID than our artists,” and that part of his plan will be to “bring the arts back.” “2021 will be a year of continued challenges, transformation, and change,” said Cuomo. “We will need to adjust to the new social and economic realities of the post COVID world. There is a real opportunity for the places and the people who best and most quickly adapt to the post COVID economy.” “We must accelerate the return of the arts,” said Cuomo of his plans to bring back New York City’s economy. “Cities are, by definition, centers of energy, entertainment, theatre, and cuisine. Without that activity and attraction, cities lose much of their appeal.”" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubai might be the exception Because of Hurricanes, flooding , high insurance rates and global warming- I wouldn't even consider ocean front. I do not believe a great investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted January 13, 2021 #38 Share Posted January 13, 2021 You are correct- however I remember not so nice pictures during hurricanes. We enjoy "visiting" the beach and sailing- but not 24-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted January 13, 2021 #40 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Home prices have increased in every state due to low inventory, multiple bids driving up the prices and extremely low mortgage rates. IMO, I dont see that impacting cruise fare. Cruiselines and travel industry as a whole will have to walk the fine line of offering great deals to get people back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bloomberg article implied that the “Wall Street” money people were coming to Florida. High end cars are in demand. Maybe they will spend their dollars on luxury cars and expensive property and have no demand for cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricanes just like any other force majeure circumstances does not really affect the prices. There is simply no cruisng at that time lol. CorovaVirus - this is what effecting prices right now.. just as well as the demand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo the wall street people who buy high end homes and cars will either buy or rent their own luxury yachts. I can see marina's thriving. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateUpNorth Posted January 13, 2021 #44 Share Posted January 13, 2021 To address the original question - you may see suite prices increase..... but wall street money likely has no interest whatsoever in inside cabins, "ocean view", obstructed view, or lower level balconies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising is one of those things that once was forbidden to a good Half of the population. But now all of us can enjoy this type of luxury leisure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the seas rise it will be our kids problem. Sorry, but nothing beats watching whales from your bedroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
