Itinerary with port of Ashdod, Israel - still going/excursions

[Kugel]

Have any of the itineraries changed that include Ashdod, Israel as a port stop. Usually it is done in May and then September, October. Anyone have any experience with it? Also has anyone done their own excursion from here?

Thanks

I don't know if you saw this:

I don't know how long it will stay this way though.

Thanks. I hope by next May this will be okay.

The Seven Seas Mariner was in Ashdod yesterday as schedule after docking in Haifa as planed on Saturday.

However Azamara Cruises decided that the Quest that was schedule to dock in Ashdod yesterday and in Haifa today will dock in Haifa only for the 2 days with an overnight. Excursions then to Jerusalem came out of Haifa.

The Oceania Nautica is schedule to be in Ashdod on June 11th and so far there is no change with that. To my opinion there was no reason to cancel the call to Ashdod by Azamara.
