Black Sea Cruise

Paul Albertine
US sending 2 aircraft carriers and all their support into the Black Sea, just in case for Sochi Olympics.  Has anyone made a cruise through Istanbul and into the Black Sea?  What's it like?

Numerous times to Istanbul, but never past it. Most memorable was in 61 or 62 when the students rioted and injured many of our crew, but the special police got even with the communist students for us, the plaza by the waterfront mosque was running red with blood when the police got finished with them.
