Russia/Baltic itinerary changes?

What do you think the chances are of SD revising their 2014 Baltic itineraries in light of the Ukraine crisis and the recent US State Department alert regarding the potential for increased public demonstrations and anti-American actions in Russia in connection with Russian actions in the Crimea?

Personally, I hope all cruise lines stop going to any Russian port. This is not about our cruises anymore.

Baltic cruises are probably safe for now but can't imagine any Black Sea cruises will stop in the Ukraine including Crimea and Sochi, Russia as we visited last August on SD. Frankly need to check to see what they have on the schedule for the Black Sea yet this year.

Right now, Sevastopol and Yalta are still on the itinerary -- remains to be seen if they will change it!

Forgot to say it's an Aug 30 departure -RT Istanbul. That seems to be the only Black Sea cruise scheduled.

I wouldn't count on those two ports remaining.

I would not think they would be there very long either. And if I was booked on that cruise, I would cancel. Did those ports on SD last year and enjoyed them very much, but I would not go under the current situation.

Sadly I agree with Whatnot.
