It doesn't look good in that part of the world, it's any ones guess if or when they will sort things out over there. We are lucky to have been able to see the sights in Israel when thigs were peace full.
Hopefully if all the people who are complaining about it here on CC also let HAL know how very unhappy they are about the closure of the Crows Nest, you think HAL will listen??
I too would be up set. We do enjoy the Crows Nest. I guess the only thing is to complain as loud and as often as possible, use the appt and the post cruise survey. There is nothing the Capt. can do about it as the decision is out of his hands. I do think if HQ gets enough complaints, things will change.
I think just the adventure of going on a cruise to Alaska would be interesting enough. The Hawaii cruise with all the sea days might not, but then when they get there and get to explore the different stops should be of interest.
