Just heard the same news by email. Thwarted again, for the second time! We will be looking at Far East for 2022 but looking carefully at the cancellation options Azamara are offering.

My refund has finally come though, in full. About 8 items, not just a lump, but actually made it easier to check that all element were refunded in full.

Make that x3 please !

I fear it won't happen - the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

that’s it in a nutshell - “fluid”. Nobody knows how far it will spread, where, when or anything else. We just have to cross fingers and hope it all works out.

I think that’s probably right Baynanno1, so boarding in Singapore could be slow

Correct, but many citizens of those countries live and work In Singapore so are “from” China. Thats the phrase used in the policy document.

Can you please expand on this - "Any guest who has come in contact with anyone from mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau in the past 15 days. The CDC characterizes contact with an individual as coming within six feet (2M) of a person." If we spend three days pre-cruise in Singapore or even if we go directly from the airport to the cruise terminal, how is it possible to answer that question? Thanks

A great review and loads of info especially for the First Time cruiser.

Thanks; that's very helpful.

If I don't have a pre-booked Port to Airport transfer arranged can this be booked during a voyage? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone heard of this new facility? Could be useful. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/aviation/emirates-launches-new-service-heres-how-it-will-benefit-you

It doesn't bother me as I prefer beer, but I was amused to see Strongbow listed as the only cider in the Premium package. Here in the UK it's seen as a cheap "student drink" so drunk for its effect rather than sophistication. I am not familiar with US beers but are there any equally odd choices of US beers on the list?

Thanks, that's very helpful

A question that will have experienced cruisers saying "it's obvious"! How does the ship adjust for time zones? Does ship time change on arrival in port or overnight between ports? I can see how a misunderstanding could result in a missed excursion.
