Mediterranean voyage changes course twice after Turkey, then Egypt refuse access
The Scarlet Lady cruise ship has changed its itinerary for the second time this week, after first Turkey and now Egypt denied it entry to their ports.
The ship, owned by Virgin Voyages and chartered by 2SLGBTQ+ travel company Atlantis Events, is carrying 1,900 passengers, including legendary Broadway performer Patti LuPone.
The passengers found out on Thursday the cruise would not be heading to Alexandria, Egypt, as a replacement for previously planned stops to Kuลadasฤฑ and Istanbul in Turkey. Earlier this week, Turkish authorities canacelled the planned port calls, saying the cruise was chartered by groups "known for behaviours incompatible with the fabric of our society and our moral values."
The itinerary was then revised to replace the Turkish stops with calls in Alexandria, Egypt and Crete, Greece.
But shortly before the ship was due to arrive in Alexandria, passengers were notified through the Virgin Voyages app that the vessel had also been denied entry into Egyptian waters.
We're incredibly disappointed to share that Scarlet Lady has just been denied entry into Egyptian waters and will no longer be able to call in Alexandria," said a statement distributed to passengers.
Virgin Voyages and Atlantis Events said they were working to secure another port...

For some very odd reason these 'people' support Muslims and hate Jews... God only knows why, because the Muslims sure don't support them or their beliefs.
Waiting for the media to blame this on Trump, somehow.
I hope a bunch of the people on board are Queers for Palestine.
Excellent. Now block Wheel of Fortune after two straight nights of gay couples being contentants.
What๐คฃ๐คฃ??!!
I know the muzzies hate us but Im going to figure they hate the homos and freaks even more. Who says we have no common ground?
I bet they stop at the island of Lesbos
“known for behaviours incompatible with the fabric of our society and our moral values.”
At least, someone gets it. Too bad it isn’t someone in the United States, formerly known as the USA.

Two comments
- when did the central committee add “2S” to the approved alphabet soup?
- stay out of the public bathrooms on that ship
Israel would probably let them dock but my guess is they think that Israel is evil.
Plop them on โmisfit islandโ
Imagine hitting that ship with a black light after one of these cruises.

When America gave you exactly what you wanted, but the world doesn’t have to subscribe to the same absurd nonsense.
Maybe instead they could go to Gaza.
[-stay out of the public bathrooms on that ship]
And the pool..., hot tub..., gym..., spa...
I would just skip the whole cruise.
Not often but every ince in a while the sand people gett it right.
