    Haifa, Israel Rccl warning !!

    December 3, 2015 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Well it's Haifa, Israel today, and we all received a letter in our cabins warning us of the dangers of travelling around Israel.
    Recommending that we don't travel down this road and that road, for fear of attacks.
    Funny thing is that all their tours from the ship are all going ahead.
    Maybe RCI have special dispensation from the terrorists?
    But my typically cynical view is that they are trying to scare passengers in to not doing private tours and booking the ship's tours.
    It was the same a couple of years ago when we visited Haifa, and had the same kind of warning from the cruise line.
    But Sheila and I along with Ken and Denise, jumped on the local bus service to Bethlehem, I think the cost was about £2 return as opposed to the ship's price of about $150.
    So go figure!
