Ughhh...

My wife and I are on (????) the 4 June Rome-Israel-Barcelona cruise on the Splendor.

We came across this news.
"[Israeli] travelers from the following locations must be placed under a 14-day home quarantine: Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, mainland China (including Hong Kong and Macau), South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Singapore...Because tourists cannot comply with a self-quarantine, at-home plan, the best solution is to keep them from entering the country unless they can prove that they have a place in which to stay in Israel, Mor-Yosef said.” https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/16th-Israeli-diagnosed-with-coronavirus-619908

With Italy out of the mix (at least right now), and Israel becoming very difficult to do if the ship goes to any of the above countries, how many Regent ships can operate out of Europe? With every other cruise line having the same constraints, I imagine possible ports will be extremely busy if not full. Can Regent send all of their scheduled ships to Europe for the Spring season? What other options are there? The Splendor is headed right now for San Diego (unless I'm mistaken)...is there any chance they would stay in the western hemisphere--South America (more wishful thinking than careful analysis)?

As the newest ship, I can't see them having the Slendor sit idle, would they?

Our situation is that none of the itineraries for 2020-2021 under FCC are either workable with our schedule or have enough interest. Israel was the #1 reason we chose this itinerary. Fortunately, we have cancel-for-an-reason travel insurance so we can make our decision very close to the proposed sailing time--but be out 25% of the non-refundable charges. Not what we would want to do, but right now, I see no reason to make any decisions until the last moment...although air fare will probably be more problematic (we chose the self-booking option).

Thoughts?
