Anyone with a passport from one of those three regions, regardless of when they were last there, won't be allowed to board the cruise ships.



Additionally, regardless of nationality, any guest or crew member who has traveled to mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau, or been in contact with someone who has, less than 15 days before boarding won't be allowed to board the company's ships.
