Hi guys, I run a cruise blog focusing on the Middle East, the latest info that I've been told by the RCCL press team (last night) was that Odyssey's cruises from Israel are going ahead as planned. Of course, with the situation over there being as it is, that could change overnight, but the latest seems to be that they're not changing the deployment. Haifa is well away from the main conflict zone, and Odyssey is only beginning her cruise season in June, so it might be that they're waiting to see how the situation evolves, or may have determined that Haifa is safe enough to cruise from.
