In my post titled “Cruise Line Changes From Israel-Gaza Ship Clash,” it was mentioned that further alteration could be announced. This morning comes word that Azamara Club Cruises had cancelled the Azamara Quest’s port of call in Ashdod, Israel.
Although, she will call in Haifa, Israel. She is currently there now and will stay there until late tonight. Ashdod is the port used by the Israeli Defense Forces to quarantine the incoming aid ships to inspect them. Given the increased exposure this operation has gotten over the past few days (i.e. riots, protests, you get the picture), its no wonder lines want to avoid this area.
