With an ongoing conflict involving Israel, Royal Caribbean International is expected to cancel or at least significantly adjust its summer season from Haifa on the new Odyssey of the Seas.
According to a report from Crew Center, crew aboard the ship have already been informed the season has been scrapped.
Industry sources indicated earlier in the week that the company would need to at least delay the season amid ongoing violence in the region.
Now it appears the ground-breaking homeporting operation, which was set to see Royal Caribbean make history by putting a brand new ship into Israel, will need to wait.
According to the Crew Center report, the ship will now make its way to Port Canaveral, where it may be among the first Royal Caribbean ships to re-enter service in the United States once the industry gets the go-ahead from the CDC.
I was in Israel in ‘99 for three months and felt perfectly safe.
No way would I go now.
That Cruise cancellation will cost Carnival tens of millions of dollars. But who can blame Carnival for cancelling and moving the ship elsewhere?
Carnival don't want that ship targeted as an "Israeli collaborator."
Once that ship leaves Israeli waters with paying passengers, and has to visit other foreign ports it can be more easily attacked, passengers and all. -Tom
oops sorry- in my post above I should have said Royal Caribbean in place of Carnival. -Tom
That would have been an excellent cruise.
“That would have been an excellent cruise”
The cruise is now officially canceled. read below. -Tom
I am still booked on a short cruise out of Port C in September.
If it goes well, will book more.
Here’s a cite...
The cruise lines and Deep State don’t dare risk discovery, do they...
And Deep State likely doesn’t want to make them whole for the foreseeable future...
“Have you seen this...”
A lot going on at RoyalvCaribbean see below-Tom

Thanks for pinging me! I never go on cruises but I feel bad for all you who like to. I feel bad for these the cruise industry which has given so much pleasure to people. I hope Florida wins this lawsuit.
It looks to me that these orders come from on high. From the White House. That this is how the Dems punish Republican and pro-capitalist Florida.
