Kobilee Posted May 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Hi has anyone had an itinerary change for Israel? If so what ports are being substituted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2023 All depends on the cruise line and itinerary. There isn't a couple of ports that get substituted every time, or are the only ones that can be exchanged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebsxm Posted May 13, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) We're docking in Haifa on June 16. Still on schedule. I think that the unrest will not affect tourist areas. But if any port changes would happen, it would be only done a few days out. Edited May 13, 2023 by mikebsxm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats such a shame that your cruise was disappointing! We are scheduled to go there in October however, I have heard some cruises are changing itineraries now. We will make a decision before final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ports did they substitute for Turkey/Israel? Was looking at traveling to those ports, but am concerned that they'll be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
