Never thought it would end. Effing Chinese killed it for a lot of people but it's a business and they know they can sell all the can make in the Chinese / Hong Kong luxury market i guess good luck to them. Prices are still cheap in Cuba I might have to start upping the number of trips I take there.
Have read that prices are up there as well. As I'm sure you're aware, the recent price increase was worldwide and based on the relatively high HK market. I've seen a few pictures lately of the galley floors - nearly empty. Sure, they'll sell all they can make, but they're not making much these days. I'm one of the optimists out there - I assume prices will some day come back down. They won't be where they were, but back to something I can justify to myself.
