Turkey Ports Cancelled?

We are on the 6/21/07 Quest sailing, which is scheduled to stop in Kusadasi/Ephesus. Recently Royal Caribbean announced that they are cancelling all stops in Turkey for the year and announced alternate itineraries. Has anyone heard if Azamara has made the same decision? There is no change in itinerary showing on Azamara's website.

There has been a change in our mid Oct sailing. Originally we had 2 Turkish ports and a late stay in Ephesus. Now we only have a short day in Ephesus and no other Turkish ports. I really would be upset if they didn't go to Ephesus on our sailing!

At this time we have no plans to change our two 2017 cruises that include Kusadasi: Quest in June and Journey in October.

As always, we continue to monitor the entire world and we reserve the option to make changes as needed.

Sounds fair!

Thanks for the update, Bonnie, and I hope we still get to stop at Kusadasi.

However, it seems odd that Azamara is still planning to stop there when for one of their brands, RC announced:

"We have replaced our current calls to Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey...due to the current unpredictability of the state of Turkey. Our decision-making process will always be driven by our concern for the safety of our guests and crew."

I wonder why they feel it's more safe for their Azamara guests than it is for their Royal Caribbean guests?
