Right. That's what I meant. I really am happy for the policy, but ??? Maybe because now the Government has imposed a 14 day quarantine upon return from China, this would keep someone from being able to board having returned "2 weeks before".
We are traveling on the Wonder out of San Diego at the end of March. My interpretation of their email, now that the virus is in America, is that we won't be going on the cruise. Thoughts/reactions?
I don't where you're getting that from. The email only says " if you have been to mainland China in the two weeks prior to this email". Nothing about being in America with the virus.
Exactly. But, IMO, most people who have a passport will use it for travel. But there's always a way to buck the system.
Passport stamps and the govt knows where you travelled. Every ship is cleared prior to you boarding. That's why you cant book a cruise the same day as departure.

Even if you dont use a passport a background is done on you prior to embarkation.
Like I said, I am VERY HAPPY for the restrictions. Obviously, I'm hoping this "thing" dies when the weather gets warmer, but who knows.... I just hope that the restrictions and background checks are thorough to the point of preventing the spread of infection to the masses.
If that someone has a US birth certificate, it is kind of unlikely for that person to have a Chinese passport, isn’t it?
Not all ports stamp passports. It's hit or miss in most cases, unless you specifically seek them out.
I believe they are talking about a US (or any other country) passport with the entry/exit stamp from China.
