No evacuation yet as companies signal no plans to evacuate their expatriate staff yet.
Cruise companies were also canceling port calls and trips. Norwegian Cruise Line spokeswoman Courtney Recht said Friday that its Norwegian Jade ship would go to Istanbul this weekend instead of Alexandria, where the Jade had been expected to overnight Saturday to Sunday. Two Nile cruises by Avalon Waterways, scheduled for Jan. 29 and Feb. 1, were also canceled, with guests offered refunds and a chance to rebook later.
Late Friday afternoon, Gate 1 Travel, a U.S.-based tour-booking company, which sends several thousand Americans to Egypt each year, canceled all scheduled Egypt tour departures through the end of February.
The growing unrest and spreading violence may soon force an evacuation, irresponsible EU govs warned for days if not weeks of the foreseeable contagion to Egypt and further have waited the last minute to divert flights allowing thousands to be trapped and exposed.
The last thing Egyptians need are foreign witnesses possibly caught into violent incidents throwing dirt at what's the Egyptian People's right to demonstrate to request a change of regime. That type of events in countries under an iron fist for decades can't be without any violence as contained frustration for such a long time erupts.
