Change of Ports

[Lovetotravel]

I am booked on the Holyland tour with Princess in June of 2007. The main reason I booked this tour was because Egypt is one of the destinations. Ashdod and Haifa Israel are also destinations on this cruise. I am almost positive this cruise will not go to Israel. Does anyone know about how far in advance Princess will let you know about changes in ports? Also, can they tell you in advance where your new ports of call will be? I am worried that I will end up some place that I have already been. I am thinking of changing my cruise.

I would probably wait and see what happens. June 2007 is a long way off. You would have up to your final payment to cancel without penalty. A lot could change by then. The cruise line will not go in there if it is unsafe. By next year if things have settled down and the State department lifts the warnings of going into there, then the cruise will probably still sail. It really is too far off now.
