Madang is a safer town compared to Port Moresby and Lae.   Also the local police will probably look after security and those guys don't muck about.

Before attacking management, I think a brief pause to realise that the situation is changing by the hour is appropriate.  So speculating about what the situation will be in 6 weeks regarding Italy and/or Europe and/or the world is just that: speculation without any real facts behind it.

That said, if I were booked on a cruise involving Italy leaving on April 26 or even May 4 I would be inclined to cancel.

If you can cancel without losing all your cruise fare.

This is a post from YAHOO FINANCE on March 3. 

 

MSC Cruises has tweaked its cancellation policy to allow any passenger who is booked on a Mediterranean cruise in March and April 2020 to postpone their cruise or switch to a different one operating in another region and sailing within the next year.

 

Viking Cruises is making a temporary exception to its cancellation policy so that passengers can postpone their cruise at any time up until 24 hours before the planned departure, without incurring any cancellation fees. Passengers wishing to postpone will be issued with a voucher for future travel valid for 24 months.

 

Windstar announced a new cancellation policy, the Travel Assurance Booking Policy, for any cruise departing on or after June 1, 2020. It enables passengers to cancel their cruise up to 15 days before the cruise departs without incurring a cancellation fee.

This does not apply to us poor plebs in Australia. We have to go on our MSC Divina cruise Miami to Genoa (Northern Italy). Even though Singapore Airlines will now refuse to fly us home. Our Canadian friends have no such problems.

Did B2B South America /Antarctic cruises with Celebrity Eclipse last year.   Loved it so much we are taking friends there on Azamara Quest in 2022.

They were there in Petra in May. No idea how much they cost or how you order.
