You're right that none of those 3 are very honorable and its within reason that they would break the rules but at the same time they are very arrogant and momentum was in their favor having recently killed a dragon and the rest of their fleet so it's also within reason that they would prolong their enemies suffering.

I have been very disappointed with the show since season 5 but I dont have any issues with this particular scene.

You see, particularly I refrain from calling out writers or their writing when a certain character behaves idiotically, or refuses to do the obvious thing within the context they're living through. This is very realistic on itself, for people often are just like that.

But there are situations where every character is playing dumb. Then it comes across as a serious shortcoming in the plot. The issue isn't merely Cersei or Euron being arrogant, but how everyone in the other side is OK with dangering themselves when characters like Tyrion and Jon are entirely aware of events like the Red Wedding, the explosion of Baelor's Sept etc. and know how devious their enemies can be.

Hell, Dany herself had formerly used a parlay situation to pull a sudden reversal of fortunes against the slaver coallition laying siege to Meereen.

Very true, Dany & Tyrion had zero reason to trust that Cersei would be honorable in such a situation and should have remained out of harm's way while sending an envoy.
