Hi everyone! I just thought I would share our worry about our upcoming cruise on QE Barcelona to Melbourne October 30. I am a worrier and try to try to think ahead a bit. I hope you will bear with me while I try to make some sense of the situation.
We are due to begin the cruise in Barcelona, then on to Crete, then the Suez Canal to Egypt. We are getting increasingly nervous about the current events in the world and hoping that things settle, but don't feel too confident. We have not heard anything from Cunard, but I don't expect to at this point.
This started us thinking about possible scenarios. We know that QE is working her way to Australia for the Australian season so we've been looking at the wall map and trying to think of possible ideas. I sure hope they don't cancel outright, which I kind doubt they would do. Maybe shorter jaunts around the Western Med, maybe Lisbon, Canary Islands down around the southern coast of Africa and then over to Australia; what do you think? I am trying to prepare myself and hubby for alternatives just in case. Does anyone have experience in these areas of travel or would you be willing to share some ideas?
We would just be happy to be on the ship (QE) for travel back home so that is something at least because it has been 4 years since we were last on Cunard and are missing it a lot.
Thank you so much for listening and any advice!
