No news is good news I suppose?

Since we came out of the Suez Canal all the news channels have mysteriously disappeared from the TV.
This could be due to the loss of the satellite signal, but, the more cynical amongst us, me included reckon that the ship has blocked them, due to all the bad terrorism news we've had recently.
This part of the trip, from the end of the Red Sea, into the Gulf of Aden is where the possibility of pirate attacks is, so the ship has armed security, a night time blackout and an open deck lockdown, where passengers are not allowed on the open decks during the hours of darkness.
This is the norm on Suez Canal trips, so those of us who have done it before are not overly worried.
But there are a few passengers who are quite scared, and a bit worried.
So I suppose seeing news about terrorists etc would not help.
Ergo the lack of news channels.
That's my theory anyway.Les mer
