Dear Guest,
We’re looking forward to welcoming you aboard Spectrum of the Seas next month!
Last week, we implemented a new travel regulation related to the coronavirus, which we shared with you recently. We understand that this created some confusion since your sailing differs, as it sails out of mainland China, requiring travel there. So by default, creating a scenario where you would be denied boarding because of our restriction on travel through China. Sorry, that was not our intention. That email was intended for rest of the fleet.
Unlike our sailings all over the world, where the situation is a bit more straight forward, we are working through the impact to our Chinese sailings very differently and we are making decisions 2 weeks in advance of each sailing. Currently, there are no changes to your sailing and our hope is that this virus begins to diminish and we can lift our travel regulations before your departure.
Again, if for any reason we must make a change to your itinerary and/or our travel regulation must remain in place, for your safety and wellbeing, we will contact you and your Travel Advisor at least 2 weeks prior to your sail date with all of the details.
We are sorry to implement such a conservative stance, but we take this very seriously and have a responsibility to maintain a safe and healthy environment onboard our ships, as well as in the ports we visit.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. And we promise to keep you posted every step of the way.

I have just read news that Westerdam cruise of Holland American Line was denied entry to the ports of Thailand, Japan, Philippines and Guam. And there are NO ill people on board.The ship departed from Hong Kong Feb 1st and was denied entry while already in sea. That is the problem for ALL cruises in South East Asia.
