Thank you basically did this with Ren. but Israel was cancelled at last minute due to problems in Israel - thank you for tbhe quick reply

I find sometimes its nice to do itineraries at least twice..I never feel like I have really seen a country or city unless I have been there several times..cruising into a port for 8 hours is fun but the second time I find better!

So true, Jan.

We are repeating 8 of 23 ports in May and we can't wait to

explore on our own, having taken tours before.

When one travels it is always good to leave something for the next visit.:)

Absolutelycorrect orchestrapal, we are going back to many of the same ports on our trip coming up..and I intend to get massages, eat lunch out and act like I am staying there..so much fun once you have seen all of the highlights that are not to miss..when someone says I have been there and I say to them 6 hours doesnt count as a visit..they usually laugh and say you are right..could anyone say they have been to New York if it was only for 6 or 8 hours?? I dont think so..

Fantastic itinerary. Is there a similar rerun in the spring or fall that includes Istanbul and Cairo?

Thanks.

I was hoping to go when it's not too hot.... I have difficulty handling the heat .

Any other itineraries featuring Cairo overnight AND Israel?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[Jancruz]

Oceania does not have cruises that include those port stops in the spring or fall, but Princess (Royal Princess former Ren ship) and HAL do.

Thanks. It's always nice to know my options.

I'll check those out.
