Creator's Key Takeaways

If you have a cruise that's booked that goes anywhere near Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, or the Arabian Gulf, stop what you're doing and watch this video

MSC, TUI Cruises, they've both publicly announced cancellations and suspensions

First thing, do not panic buy new flights or make alternative travel arrangements until your cruise line officially contacts you

Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, there are fantastic alternatives
