It's official. Libya cancelled.

Received email today from HAL and the port of Tripoli has been removed from the Apr 4 Tri-Continent sailing of the Rotterdam. It has been replaced by a call at Dubrovnik (Croatia) and Argostoli (Greece). Going to make the last week of this 4 week cruise very busy. :D :eek:

I also posted on our roll call.

Cheers! Colette

I was reasonably certain it was only a matter of time before they deep sixed Libya. The other ports are lovely.

[Krazy Kruizers]

definitely agree that you will enjoy the other ports.

Our May 26 European Capitals cruise also was recently changed. Libya was replaced with Kusadasi, Turkey and Salerno, Italy. I couldn't be happier :D

 

I've been to Kusadasi before, but not Salerno -- anybody have any tips?

[Cruise or Lose!]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Dubrovnik.

Last year's World Cruise had a Grand Meeting with The "Prinsendam "[ The WC was "Amsterdam" - In Croatia. It is VERY beautiful and interesting; I'm sure you will enjoy the port/town.

We haven't worked up to being able to do a 4 week cruise yet. We're just now up to 10 day. But boy, that sounds like a great itenarary. One day, one day we'll make it. ;) :D Hope you have a GREAT time.

FeistyFelix, It took us many years to move up to the longer cruises and now we may only take a cruise once every two years or so but we truly love the longer itineraries. Hang in there. You'll do it too. :D:D:D

Thanks all for your responses. My DH got really excited when I read him of the change. After all, being US citizens, we weren't going to be able to go ashore in Tripoli anyway. We're looking forward to the new ports. :D:D:D

I just hope that those on our cruise that were looking forward to Libya will be happy with the change as well.
