Odyssey Cruise September 2024
#2
I don't know why they call it a Holy Land cruise. If it's this one: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruis...3219224#step=0 - you get one day in Haifa, and one day on a trip from the port to Jerusalem. If you want to visit the "Holy Land", by which I presume you mean Israel and Palestine, take a land tour, or go by yourself.

i’m not sure about your budget, but my suggestion is to get a private guide and there are many. You will pay through the nose but it’s well worth the experience. At least this way you will be on your own and there’s nothing like seeing Israel through the eyes of one of their licensed guides.
if you need a reference, I can give you one.

Great. I am sure you will. The itinerary looks wonderful and it's a beautiful ship.
One word of caution if I may. When we did this cruise there was an outbreak of noro virus which was traced back to Jerusalem. It quite easy to understand as there was much touching of the artifacts there and I even saw someone kiss the slab Jesus was laid on so be very careful about hand to mouth. Bringing hand sanitizer is a good idea.
