Does the situation in Europe affect your future travel?

When I asked this question before, I actually had a couple of people ask me what situation I was referring to. Unfortunately perhaps it is clearer now.

As many of you, we have a European itinerary booked in the future. We are very concerned.

And just like before , some will say, if you cancel, you are letting the enemy win.

Will some of you say something different?

Probably not although I might want to see how this plays out. Right now I just want to get my daughter home from a business trip to England on Thursday

Safe travel to her.

I am glad our children are home.

They were in Amsterdam, Greece and Turkey 3 weeks ago. Took many pictures of migrants in tents, beaches littered, agencies doing their best to provide food and blankets. Several of their pictures were used by publications.

Just came home from 10 days in Aegean Turkey and Greece. Going back to Europe next year.

Just last month I spent a week in the very neighborhood of the restaurant shooting. It's a beautiful, lively, mellow area. I think I will go back, but not for awhile, not from fear but from sadness.

I have a cruise booked for Oct 2016 now going to Spain, France Italy.

It's easy to to say " we should continue with our plans, as we can't let the enemy win"...... But we will never be able to move around, particularly here in Europe, as freely and easily as we have enjoyed since the borders came down in the recent years...

No plans to change any of our overseas travel. Changing you plans means the terrorist win.

We are booked on a TA out of Rome for next October, doubt we will cancel but will see what happens in the next few months.

Je t'aime Paris! Aujourd'hui et toujours.

We'll be traveling to Barcelona next October for the Harmony of the Seas transatlantic...we won't be canceling. My daughter and I are thinking about doing something completely different (not Caribbean) in 2017. I believe we'll still move forward with our plans, whatever they turn out to be.

Praying for the people of France. Safe travels to everyone.

Since my DH really hates to fly we confine our travel to North America & the Caribbean so we don't have to consider this for the near future in the context you are asking.

As far as "letting the enemy win" that seems to be a very personal decision based on an individuals circumstance.

We live in the city, and like all city's, there are occasional shootings near to us, or at suburban locations we frequent. While we do not avoid these locations, we are aware of problems and are alert when in these areas. There are other neighborhoods that we feel are unsafe most of the time and we avoid them. Is this "letting the enemy win"? Perhaps, or perhaps we are just being cautious to spare our family undue worry.

Sorry, might be a little more philosophical than you wanted. :D

No I won't. It's been four years since our last trip to Europe and we're thinking about going in 2016.

Yes we will stay in the us. Thankfully we have been yo Europe 5 times.

I would not willingly put myself or my family into an "iffy" situation...there are PLENTY of other places to go! Getting killed because you don't want them "to win"....really????

It is not just Europe, Unfortunately it is really starting to get global!. I won't be changing any travel plans at this stage.

I see all these people saying they won't change their plans but I think it is short sighted if anyone actually told you that if you cancel, you are letting the enemy win. Obviously, never lived or worked in a dangerous area. I wrote Europe off years ago...whatever! I don't feel comfortable or safe and it is my vacation time so my decision. I would definitely not go now .... you have to do what makes you feel ok.

I am on a British Isles trip in May 2016 which overnights in Le Harve. Was going to go into Paris and stay overnight but since I have been to Paris I might just do things each day from Le Harve instead.

I'm done with Europe for now.

I leave tomorrow. Heading to Amsterdam and wouldn't consider cancelling. I. December I'll be in the UK for Christmas. Doing a TA in April with no chance of changing my plans.

I will be in Europe for a 13 day cruise out of Barcelona in July 2016. I plan to return to Europe in 2017 for another cruise. I will not be traveling to Turkey though. I love the time I spent there there in the last four years. At the same time I do not want to be vacationing where the effects of war are more and more apparent. It has nothing to do with safety but with trying to vacation as usual despite the changes the war has brought to that region.

I have never been to Paris, but I do want to go there in the next year for a week vacation on land.

BTW I will not go to Russia. So I am having hard time finding a Baltic Northern European curise without St. Peterburg as a port.:(

These are just my personal criteria for traveling these days.

I felt much safer living in both Germany and Italy than I ever have living in the US and that feeling will continue. Still crossing fingers to be able to spend more extended time over there again. I've been blessed to travel the world thanks to my husbands job in the military and truly feel it's an overreaction to cancel travel to Europe.

No...we will not be deterred from traveling outside the US. We are doing the Baltic Cruise in May 2016 out of Amsterdam. We will, however, be cautious. We always are.

No changes for us. I'd fly to Paris tomorrow if someone would send me a ticket.

It will not change my plans. I generally travel outside the US 3-4 times each year (mix of cruises and land travel). I do not feel it is any less safe in the places I travel than it is where I live.

Don't any of you that are apprehensive live in large metro areas with high volume traffic? I'm getting to the point in my life where being on the interstate is freightening to me. Personally I hope to travel to Turkey again but I'm thinking that won't be an option on a Celebrity ship in 2016 or2017.
