What's happening with the cruises that go through the Suez Canal?

Anyone heard what is happening to the cruises that go through the suez canal in light of the recent terrorist attacks on cargo ships?  I noticed Princess is still selling its WC segment that goes through the suez canal.  I am wondering what will happen if they have to re-route the ship.

It's pretty safe to assume that the ships won't be going through the Suez Canal. The MSC WC has rerouted down the West Coast of Africa. And any itineraries due to traverse the Suez have been pulled. I suspect a lot of cruise schedulers are currently very busy finding alternative routes and ports.
