Gaznjo Posted June 19, 2013 #76 Share Posted June 19, 2013 In case a pirate is reading Cruise Critic, I will only be posting one more capture of the Suez Canal latter on tonight. I think there is enough military presents along the banks of the suez that a pirate would be on a death wish if he ever entered and tried anything LOL.... you see bunkers all the way along...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted June 19, 2013 #78 Share Posted June 19, 2013 In case a pirate is reading Cruise Critic, I will only be posting one more capture of the Suez Canal latter on tonight. I would not be too worried...even pirates have internet these days.... and being closer to the ship than we are , probably get a clearer picture than us..:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted June 19, 2013 #79 Share Posted June 19, 2013 They are through , and out of the Canal and heading for the Holy Land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted June 20, 2013 #80 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I would have to say going to the holy land was one of the highlights for me on our world cruise.... maybe cause suddenly all those religious things you learnt about in school really exist... to see road signs that say Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho is quite surreal.. and who can forget bobbing up and down in the dead sea!!

Gaznjo Posted June 20, 2013 #81 Share Posted June 20, 2013 just reading Gloria and johns blog.... so many memories brought back.... did you see how clear the pictures of the suez was.... if you went by the bridge cam you would have thought that the weather was atrocious .... as far as ashod I remember thinking the same thing.... the trip to Jerusalem was so green after oman, petra and Egypt it was a welcomed surprise...though the road to the dead sea was pretty baron!!

bazzaw Posted June 22, 2013 #87 Share Posted June 22, 2013 just reading Gloria and johns blog.... so many memories brought back.... did you see how clear the pictures of the suez was.... if you went by the bridge cam you would have thought that the weather was atrocious .... Looks like they had a very nice day for the Suez transit - we have friends onboard so looking forwad to talking to them about it when they return. I know it is almost heresy to say this - - but we enjoyed the Suez transit MUCH more than the Panama Canal. Of course they are both "good" -- but the Suez was much more interesting for us. We would gladly do it again - whereas for the Panama it is a matter of "Been there - done that! " :) Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icat2000 Posted June 22, 2013 #90 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Might See you on board as well, as we are also doing the Auckland to Sydney leg. :) Great news that your doing that leg as well as your 35 day cruise. Its a nice little 4 day cruise with a stop in Bay of Islands. I'm just up the front of the ship in Plaza deck. Hope its not too rough for the crossing. Never been sea sick.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted June 23, 2013 #91 Share Posted June 23, 2013 After their day at Lesbos they are , as I post, in the Dardenelles heading to Istanbul , Turkey. Trust they will be well away from any rioting or trouble while they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted June 24, 2013 #92 Share Posted June 24, 2013 There used to be a webcam that showed a live view of the ships in port , but I cant find it.. I then came across this.. As Istanbul protests continue, government turns off live camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
