Israel ports.

[mklions]

I think with the current situation in Israel that cruise ships will not visit any ports in Israel. Saga has a couple of cruises / itineraries next year that would be affective.

It would be a shame because we have recently had a cruise destined for both Ashdod and Haifa cancelled on us due to the unrest. ( substituted for two extra sea days)

We have never been to Israel but I believe it's a marvellous place to visit especially the numerous religious sites.

We booked the Israel cruise before this flared up, and even at the time of booking we regarded it as a 50-50 possibility that the main ports would not happen.

We've assumed that when planning the cruise, Saga have already planned in a variety of "what if..." situations, so have back-up arrangements in hand if (as seems likely) the cruise has to be changed.

We can but wait and see.

A minor inconvenience for us. A bigger inconvenience for the cruise line.

And nothing at all compared to what the oridnary citizens there are suffering.
