mugtech Posted April 21, 2018 #301 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don't mean to be ignorant, but can women walk around freely in these ports? Do they have to cover up? No alcohol?Also, I'm not eating anything called "Clotted". Plenty of uncovered women walking the streets of Dubai, have not spent any time looking for alcohol, but the Gateway Hotel brags that they are alcohol free.

HuaAZ Posted April 21, 2018 #302 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Big shout out to our very hardworking Concierge. He defines awesomeness. Yin Tao. He transfers to Ovation once we get to Barcelona. We see him all over the ship. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Could not agree more. Great guy. Working so hard with 110 Pins on board.

It was someone else that was where he should not have been.;)We agree we all know you are a doctor and someone very welcome in anyone's company although by the time you hear everyone's ailments you probably want a bit peace and quiet.

Yes no problem although you do get the Arab men staring at the women.Don't kiss or drink alcohol outside and co -codomol possession is a prisonable offence.

Rare John&LaLa Posted April 21, 2018 Author #308 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Apparently the casino is closed the entire time we are in Persian Gulf. So no casino bar. Laura did earn a $300 cruise certificate. I'm sure it cost a lot more than that. Sent from my SM-G965U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted April 21, 2018 #314 Share Posted April 21, 2018 We stop in Ashod after the canal. Not sure what to do just yet. Lots of folks going to Jerusalem If u have just an one day stop in Ashdod, and u don't plan on visiting Israel again, I think that Jerusalem is a must (and I'm a very secular Jew) -- out of curiosity. A private tour would be best. Lots of trips combine the Dead Sea with Jerusalem. If u have a stop in Haifa too, the Sea of Galilee would be nice. Glad that cruise ships are again stopping here.

bigeck Posted April 21, 2018 #325 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Pretty expensive tea. My friends son went to Dubai on honeymoon. The parents paid for afternoon tea. They said it was like a meal with caviar and smoked salmon. It was £20 extra for a table at the window and £15 for a beer. Cost them near £300 for the experience.
