DH and I are on the HAL WC. One agent recently offered a great price on the first two segments of the HAL world cruise. At the time I wondered if the reason for not including the third segment was the ongoing war and unknown itinerary.
Interesting discussion on this thread.
We were looking forward to seeing both Israel and Turkey too. And it would be nice to get to UAE and Oman, but if rerouted around Africa we are ok with that too. We saw some interesting ports (Zanzibar, Maputo, Madagascar, to Luderitz and Walvis Bay) on Grand Africa. And there are some island nations out in the Indian Ocean like the Seychelles.
However, on this Christmas Day, I am wishing for Peace on Earth.
