Royal Princess overnight in Istanbul

[lavender29]

I am looking at a 14 night cruise next year on the Royal August 19th, that has a overnight stop half way through the second week in Istanbul. If the problems there are on going does anybody have any idea when Princess announce their changes, not worried about missing Istanbul, but would hate them to also remove some of the other ports to change the passage, cant decide if to book it or not. It is going to other places that we really want to go to.

We are travelling on Royal for 14 day Greece and Mediterranean cruise in September 16 from 10-24 Sep. we have been advised that the ship is not going to Istanbul rather it will dock in Corfu instead. From research Corfu is a really popular port and has many things to do on shore! :D:D:cool:

My guess is that unless things are really bad in Turkey next spring, no decision will be made until a month or two before the cruise.
