Internet will be non existent for most parts of the journey.... especially in the Suez and surrounding dessert areas on the way to Dubai.... If it is below $800 pp I would go.... Taxes will be about $500 pp on top!😱 Edited July 24, 2023 by cruiseboy89130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely would! We spent 36 nights on Jewel followed by 14 nights on Voyager, so 50 nights right there. Went home for 2 weeks, then back on Jewel for another 28 nights. No problem! We are already booked for this timeframe though, but wish we could do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW they sold Explorer Suez 13 nights in 2019 starting at $379 as a GGG🎉👌 But taxes were about $450 It will be interesting to see if anybody books this at the prices and the bad timing!
