I think because it takes so much longer to go around the horn of Africa as compared to through the Suez Canal.  However, I personally would rather skip some of the Spain/Portugal ports and have still gone to Phuket, Bali, etc. I don't see why they couldn't have kept some of the Asian ports. They literally cut them ALL out.   

Agree on all of that.

Norway is killing (traditional, big cruise ship) access to it's fjords in 2026. That's already been decided. My sister is doing one on RCCL this year in June before the ban. I think Norway may allow the gas turbine ships (LNG) sometime in the future, but guessing they would have to be sub 5000 pax vessels for some of the smaller ports.

LNG may not be good enough, but many interesting alternatives are being investigated, including battery powered for a day.

Meh, if they do not want me, then I will not go.
