Gadhafi and the Mediterranean

[aandb]

Hi,

I have a cruise booked for July on the Magic in Europe. I read today that Gadhafi has declared the Mediterranean to be a battleground. Anyone else worried about their European cruise this summer?

[Cobrakev]

No.

Why do people listen to mad dictators and negative C.C. posts? Its all a lot of bluster and sabre rattling. :D

If Carnival deems any specific Magic port to be at all dangerous, it would change the port or skip it.

Really? That's like listening to Charlie Sheen!

Ghadaffi did this back in 86' and we shut that down then...I guess its time for another go...

We can always hope that this time he will be in the Tent when the bomb is dropped on it!

Our thoughts exactly, and hopefully with his son as well :cool:

Ya I would be worried. Hopefully, this all ends quickly mostly for the sake of all the innocent people who are forever scarred by war.

 

Also hopfully it is all settled by the time you cruise and there won't be any issues but I agree Carnival will not take people into a unsafe area.

 

Good luck!!!

We'll be on the first two sailings of Carnival Magic and not at all concerned. 41 days and counting - can't wait. As for Gadhafi, couldn't care less. He's done for this time.

Sable rattling dictator, I'd not worry. With the French and US really watching I think even the cruises that are stopping in Egypt will be fine.

 

But like all things who know.

I am not even giving it a second thought. I am on the June 12th sailing. If something drastic happens I am confident that Carnival will adjust accordingly. Hey, it happened on my last cruise. In January we did an Eastern Med cruise. The riots broke out in Egypt on Day 2 of the trip. We were to dock in Alexandria on Day 8. Obviously, we didn't go. We were informed of the change ahead of time and instead spent two nights in Istanbul.

Thank to all the great Americans who serve and protect us in the United States Navy (may every one of them be blessed), no.

Libyan military calls for cease-fire

 

The Libyan military called for an immediate cease-fire, a day after U.S., British and French forces began to enforce a United Nations-mandated no-fly zone, an army spokesman said.

I would not be concerned about anything Gadfly declares....

I hope he shortly has a name change. To Mohammar Cadaver.

Collateral damage from this might be price reductions on my Magic cruises and more OBC for ME!!!

Your future cruises look fabulous. Enjoy!!!:)

I'm not eligible for any more OBC due to us booking Magic via the Interline rate :( Hope you get oodles back!!!

Em think you are forgetting the British, Canadians and lots of Arabs and other European countries , not just the French and the US .

[nimmoe2]

Have to say I am concerned. I think it is a.bit early to say what will happen.in thr next few months , this is either going to be over very quickly or go on for a very long time . I only hope it doesn't lead to another Iraq and the brave forces won't have to go through even more hell . I think my cruise is insignificant in wider picture , rcci won't risk it if its not safe , the people in Libya and our brave service men don't have thst luxury. God look after them all .Sorry about the spelling I'm sending this from my phone and predictatext is rubbish
