Unthinkable Scenario: War Breaks Out While You're in Port!

What happens when war is declared in the country where your cruise ship is docked?
That is exactly what happened to a ship we were taking, just 8 days before we were to embark. Since many of the people on that ship stayed on for our sailing as well, we had the opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of their experiences.
In this episode, we hear what happened to several different passengers aboard the ship, and get a glimpse into the challenges that Holland America faced in this situation.
As always, feel free to share your experiences with this same (or a similar) situation.

Glad you enjoyed it, Paula. Starting to gather material together to do a ship review of the Nieuw Statendam.
