Day 13 New Captain New ports

In Singapore we had a change of guard.....  Captian Jerman left and has been replace with Captain Pickford.  What will make this trip special is that this will be his last voyage before he retires.  I believe he is on here with his wife.

His first major announcement was to tell us what we were all expecting.  The cancellation of Egypt.  The changes are that we will miss Safaga, transit the Suez a day earlier, visit Ashdod,  miss Alexandria and visit Crete before we get to Naples.  Sharm El Sheik has not been replaced.

As much as we are sad to miss safaga everyone is very excited to be visiting Jerusalem again. We have already been in contact with a tour guide and this time we hope to visit at a much relaxed pace..  Actually while I am writing this up on deck 14 on the Muts screen they are broadcasting a live feed of Debs Port lecture from the Princess theatre.

We have also arranged for a driver to pick us up in Crete.
