I don't think UNREP is any big deal... but you raise another good point. If we expect the new cruisers to operate ~30 years like the Ticos, and if they're ordered in 2011-2023, then that means they have to be good for us until around 2040-2050. Who can say for certain what the oil situation will be in the U.S. and in the world by then?
