We have been attempting to take this itinerary for about 5 years. We actually thought it was going to happen this time until a couple of weeks ago, so it's disappointing but we are trying to make the best of it. This was to be our first big trip since we were finally released from the horrors of the Australian Covid lockdowns and border closures. We, too, have been to some of these Mediterranean ports before but would still like to book shore excursions to replace those that will will now not be doing, but I have not been recredited the money from all the shore excursions I booked for Jerusalem, Egypt, Oman, and Jordan. I would've thought that the recredit would be automatic. I'm also going to have to contact the travel insurance and add these other port stops to our policy. Looking forward to meeting you all over there, unless it is finally cancelled. It seems that the hostilities are getting worse and we are going to be sailing very nearby, which is concerning. I hope the Canal remains safe for passenger vessels. It would be awful if the cruise was cancelled half way through.
