This offer sucks. I can either find my way to cape town for a 17 day cruise where the dates really don't work or, it seems, pay the same amount for a 5 day cruise. The only other option is to get all my money back and lose any of the perks we got with this one for booking early.

That article is from today 06/02/2024 about things that are happening now. I've been considering given this is an active war situation would your insurance even cover you if something happened.

"The commander of HMS Diamond, a UK warship that has been part of efforts to protect merchant ships from Houthi attacks in the Red Sea in recent months, described the situation in the region on Tuesday as "fraught". "Ships in the force are firing on a daily basis," Peter Evans said on Tuesday." This is taken from a BBC article how the hell are they even thinking about putting a cruise ship into the middle of that

Oh that's not good.

No I haven't cancelled as if I cancel as others have said I'll lose all the money I've spent and if they cancel then there are, usually, compensations made.

It feels like they're playing chicken with us, trying to get us to cancel first. There's no way we're going through the red sea, even just from an insurance point of view, so unless they're sailing to Dubai then putting the boat on wheels and going cross country just cancel/modify the trip and tell people. At this point I've lost my flight to Dubai money and my flight home money is like my cruise money back so I can actually have a holiday this year.

I'm booked on the Dubai-Athens leg and would dearly love for them to make a bloody decision soon as I booked my pre and post flights and hotels months ago. I'm not sure if my insurance would cover it as it's an act of war but I may be able to cancel sooner and get at least some money back for them. It's kind of worrying that other cruise lines have made a decision and VV seem to be sitting back hoping for the best?
