Although we are on a different cruise (Riviera, end of Nov, Istanbul to Dubai), our issues are very much like the OP’s. We were offered FCC late last week, had decided to wait to see if perhaps the cruise might be canceled altogether), and O pulled that offer as of this morning. So we are now skipping stops in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Oman, visiting 6 Greek islands and spending 9 days at sea through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, the Arabia Sea and the Gulf of Oman…which to us is also at least somewhat unsafe. We are told that we either can go, or forfeit our money (about $25,000). We are looking into actions we may be able to take to receive at least some of our money back. Again, I understand, like the OP the need to cancel these stops, but wish we could have received some money for a FCC.
