FOX News just reported that an Italian war ship pulled out about 350 Italian's and some American's yesterday from Beirut. It looks like all the ships are going back to Cyprus. I would think that no matter what ship you are able to get on that you will be taken to Cyprus.
The cruise ship Orient Queen has already left Cyprus to pick up Americans. They plan to only load it during daylight hours due to safety issues. The cruise ship will be escorted by a US Navy Ship. - FOX just said that this first load of passengers for the Orient Queen will be small and around only 60 people.

FOX just said that this first load of passengers for the Orient Queen will be small and around only 60 people. The ship's personell said that they could take 1400 persons for the short trip. The 700 number that all the media is saying is their cruise trip capacity.

So there you have it. The US brings in a ship and gives you a naval escort.
God Bless this country. These people are just great.
