[quote=Anonymous]	At some point, op, your dad has got to get back to living a normal life. You say he'll be ok, now it's time for him to be ok with all that entails.

I agree with the poster who says you don't summon another adult and dictate to that person how they spend their time. Invite yes, ask yes, but summons, no.

On the surface, it was rude of your sister to just send the flight info. 
You know how your family works though, is it possible that she'd be yelled at by your dad if she said "Hey Dad, Johnny and I are taking a cruise" v. just presenting your dad with the info?

We all know adults who behave in such a manner that the only way to maintain your boundaries is to simply not participate. Maybe your dad is one of those people, if not with you, then with your sister perhaps?

Know too that your sister's behavior only impacts you if you let it. You can visit your dad as much as you'd like. Save the emotional work for people who do have an impact on you.

Another possibility is that the trip may have been a surprise from her husband.
