After our return from Europe and the Middle East I began drafting several posts for Stylish Heath. One was written on October 5th highlighting our cruise on Royal Caribbeans’ ship “Rhapsody of the Sea” to sail the Mediterranean to Greece from Haifa. But, two days later war was declared in Israel and the post would have been in poor taste to publish.
Last week Tony sent an Instagram notice stating that U.S. commercial carriers had suspended flights in and out of Tel Aviv. American Airlines and Delta Air would suspend all flights for the next few months to and from Israel, while United has suspended flights indefinitely.
With a scarcity of flights, there are still hundreds of Americans trying to return to home. According to the article the State Department requested the assistance of Royal Caribbean’s “Rhapsody of the Seas” since it was at the Port of Haifa to sail families to Cyprus. From here they will arrange their own accommodation to the U.S.
This is what I would call cruising for a cause and an extremely good one I may add!!!
