ok, so here is a question about Syria. I had looked at this cruise, but had nixed it as we would be travelling with our son who is in intell in the Marines. He has a list of places he cannot go for several years, Syria being one. All the other ports (Egypt, Israel, etc) are allowed. Would he be able to board the ship and not get off in Syria and just treat it as a sea day, or would they deny him boarding with this restriction on his passport?
