I should say I do believe in trip insurance. We always get it and it has come in handy twice. Not sure if it would cover something like this or not, but it's a must when we travel. I also hope the best for cruises sailing in this area.

The problem is going into a war area. It would be ok if they sent the ship elsewhere but they’re going into the red sea where us warships are shooting down drones. To me that's the issue.

It’s sad. While we had a wonderful cruise for three weeks, hearing passengers who were going onto this next segment and how they were treated is enough for us to never sail with Oceania again. I will say they screwed up our flights initially and my husband spent a lot of time sorting it out. It did get sorted out but it was a huge hassle.

We were just on a month long cruise on Oceania and got off in Barcelona. The next leg of the cruise was through the Suez Canal to Dubai with 8 days at Red Sea after cancelling Jordan, Israel, etc. People are very upset about Oceania offering them almost nothing to compensate. They wouldn’t refund and gave them a free drink package. It’s almost laughable. I can’t believe they’re going to sail through the Red Sea when rockets were launched from a US warship to take down attack drones. Is Oceania nuts?!!
