Got our 1st of 3 Warning Notice C-Virus

[Seasick Sailor]

Sailing B2B2B on Oosterdam next week.  I'm sure we will be getting 2 more notices along the way.🙁

 

We're monitoring the situation with the coronavirus that originated in mainland
China, and our medical experts are working with global health authorities. As a
precaution, anyone who has traveled from or through mainland China, Macau or
Hong Kong (including airport transits), or has had contact with a suspected or
confirmed case of coronavirus (2019-nCoV) within 14 days of the start of this
cruise will not be allowed to board the ship. If this applies to you or your
client, please contact us with proof of this travel for a full refund of the

amount paid to Holland America Line. All guests will also be subject to pre-
boarding health reporting and enhanced screening at check-in. Due to changing

circumstances, it is possible that authorities in the countries on your cruise
may change their entry requirements on short notice. Please check all entry
requirements prior to your arrival to the ship to ensure you are not impacted.
Guest passports will be scanned to verify compliance. False responses on forms
will result in immediate debark at the next opportunity, and you may face legal
consequences. We may change requirements to safeguard guests and crew.

Interesting.  What is your itinerary?  I'm thinking, too, that certain ports may start refusing entry to cruise ships.

I just received the same notice for my March 7 Mexican Riviera cruise.

Just got the same notice for the March 7 Oosterdam sailing too and am happy that HAL has a plan and will be screening.

I'm wondering why HAL, Princess and Carnival haven't added South Korea, N. Italy and Iran on their list of places traveled from or through like Celebrity and Royal Caribbean? I head out the 8th on Zuiderdam and haven't seen anything yet. Thanks for sharing!

And you’re right.  MSC was refused at Jamaica & Grand Cayman.  They had no cases on board.
