I am hoping someone can make a mini-movie of her webcam images as she transits the Suez Canal. I wonder what kind of welcome awaits her in Dubai? Something grand I hope befitting a legend.

THANKS for the webcam shots TDM99. I am hoping someone can get some of her as she enters Naples (my old stomping ground) with Mt. Vesuvius in the image. That would be cool.

? Depends where she would normally bunker on such a trip and whether bunkers/spares/provisions etc are included in the sale price or not.

The marked position on the map above it a little bit out

If Valetta is cancelled, does that move the rest of the ports up by one day since she is arriving in Dubai a day early now?

Unless she makes an extended unscheduled stop in Northern Somalia. I wonder if she will receive a naval escourt in the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea to prevent this.
