I wonder how the stop in Jeddah is going to work? The Saudis are opening up to tourism (a bit) but I don't think they'd be wild about a hoard of tourists galivanting about the city (especially - gasp, scandal - possibly unaccompanied females). Maybe bus tours, with tinted windows, no getting-off?
The King has a palace (complex) on a near-shore island and when I was there - some time ago - it was strictly no photographs (armed soldiers in pillboxes along the shoreline to make sure, amongst other duties). Wonder how they are going to enforce it with a cruise boat coming in? "All passengers face the sea!"
That said, the old town in Jeddah was a wonderful place to visit. And then there were the works of art along the Corniche ... I suspect things have changed now ...
