Probably the same as happened last year, they will cancel that port stop. Heck, last year they cancelled almost all of the Asia Itinerarys because of SARS! ARG! SARS SARS Go AWAY!

Well, it will be interesting to watch now, as there are some cruises beginning and ending in Beijing! - That would be a total mess with air and Pre & Post arrangements. Last year Princess oferred some amazing deals to fill the ships sailing in that area....we should all "keep our eyes open" and our bags packed and ready to go.

Last year to avoid ending our cruise in Singapore is when they offered us the Star from LA to Sydney. What an offer that was. Longer cruise, better itinerary and at a substancial savings with more shipboard credit. Probably the best cruise deal I have ever had in my entire life.

Well - we sailed on the Regal Princess (to that area) for $30 per diem and were upgraded to a mini-suite! --now THAT is what I call a deal!!! - we had a blast and never got ill at all!! (Of course lots thought we were crazy to go - but I'd do it again in a heartbeat)
