Ronn452 Posted July 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Very smart move. All cruise lines should be wary of dropping off passengers in any volatile country. Liability for the passengers' safety should be the line's number one priority. It is obviously a financial loss to the merchants, tour operators, vendors, etc., but a kidnapped or dead cruise passenger isn't worth the gamble.

While I would love to see Egypt this is not a good time to travel there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
