Providing that we actually go on this cruise, then we won’t see many other ships until we reach Savona. With the exception of the MSC Lirica then we will go for 2 weeks without seeing any other cruise ships.
When I first started to write this the FCO were advising against all but essential travel to Egypt. The warnings now seems to have been relaxed and according to their website it should now be OK to travel, but only to certain areas.
