***the orient queen should be docking in beirut in about 2 hours PER FOX NEWS, there was a delay as the israelis did block it but it has been allowed to pass on through.***

Great news! It looks like our government HAS BEEN working to evacuate American citizens, hm? :o)

rebel...will you be making your way to this vessel?

Per FOX reporter in Cyprus - many Americans are catching rides on the ferry hired by the French and on the Italian War ship. The Italian war ship and the ferry is expected to be back in the port of Beirut tomorrow morning.

It sounds like the Israelis are patrolling about 2 hours out from the port. The ships and ferries will not enter or exit the Beirut port except during daylight hours.
Earlier today the FOX reporter that is in Cyprus said the the first trip in that the Orient Queen (OQ) makes will be only taking about 60 people out. This may be due to the lack of of daylight this is left, as they will dock in about 2 hours and will try to get back out before before dusk. There may not be enough daylight hours left to load a large amount of people on the OQ and get back out to sea.
