  1. Hello, are the sailings from Haifa only for two weeks, not for a week???

  2. to shorten the way to board the ship.
    Go up from the bridge and square next to the bridge as it was before.
    Elderly and disabled people usually sail and it is difficult for them to walk to the ship with their luggage.

  3. The port of Haifa is not long nationally for the passengers the passengers have to walk 2 km until the ship returned to take luggage to pull. For 1 km even though there is very little transportation...it really ruins the pleasure on the ships.

    • Absolutely right as someone who sailed twice this summer from Haifa.. Please improve the service inside the port

  4. Why don't they agree with them on raising passengers in Haifa as they agreed with MSC and Royal? Joel, the cruise manager of the port, please act urgently on this matter.

  5. What does it matter if the princess or the queen or the dirty one came, these companies don't take Israeli passengers, so why do they come at all? Let's drool and be like Indians who saw something extraordinary. What is this, we are being boycotted?
    Thank you very much, we don't need them, let them go back where they came from

  6. It's a sailing town, the size is really amazing and I hope that the pleasures of the photos are only from the outside, what's inside?

  7. Welcome to the huge cruise letter. Good night.

  8. Welcome to the Holy Land, from me Elbez Dodi Mort Derekh in inbound tourism, in the Eshkol vehicle and in domestic tourism with the certification of the Ministry of Tourism 0526889980
