leerobbs Posted April 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I wonder just how much interest this cruise will generate? I would not even consider it. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alonzo14 Posted April 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Me neither! I jokingly asked my DH this evening when I saw they were doing Arabian cruises, Honey do you want to go on an Arabian cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cariad1000 Posted April 17, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I don't know about Vision, but I'm booked on Splendour for the Arabian Gulf cruise at the end of March 2016. The suites were all sold out months ago and still a year to go. I was looking forward to something quite different but I'm having second thoughts after reading your comments!

Enforcer Posted April 17, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi All, Can I ask why any of the above wouldn't cruise this area of the world. Is it distance from the states? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted April 17, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Fabulous to see cruises out of Dubai again. Those cruises are very popular with Europeans wanting some guaranteed winter sun and some amazing ports of call. Geography 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete I guess you haven't been watching the news for the past 2 years or so. Too risky in my opinion with all those lunatics over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cariad1000 Posted April 17, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thank you Suekay and LittleBritain, you've reassured me. I've never heard of any troubles or lunatics in Dubai!! It's over a 1000 miles from Syria and over 2,500 miles from Libya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubai is one of the safest places in the world. Edited April 17, 2015 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadmanCruiser Posted April 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Look at the Rhapsody Suez vruise in May. Starts in Dubai, 2 stops in Oman then through the Suez Canal. I am really looking forward to the ports of call and may well book one of the Arabian cruises. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAT GIRL Posted April 18, 2015 #18 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I was waiting for these to come out. We are booked on the Jan 2nd, 2017. Planning on spending New Year's Eve in Dubai. Now I hope I can get the hotel that I want booked. It's all coming into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSULabRat Posted April 18, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I would like to make the suggestion that some of you who claim to be too terrified of the boogey man "over there" to experience this amazing cruise, are the same ones who need it the most! No one should pass judgement about Anything they haven't personally experienced, especially when your "source" is the slanted, sensationalist media. My goodness. My favorite cruise all time was to the middle east, just 2 1/2 years ago. Guess what? We all survived, experienced amazing history and culture firsthand, and are all better people for it. Grow up.

I was looking for some infos on the Arabian Gulf and cruises and stumbled upon this thread. This is our first cruise in this region and we are pretty excited. I will need to do some research and hope to find out more about hotels, excursions. Do you mind telling me which hotel you will recommend. We are a family of 3. DD will be 17 then. Should we book 2 rooms? Looking forward to meet again on the roll call. Bye, Edited June 16, 2015 by stefanny28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
