Wait...you're NOT under quarantine? That's messed up.

What were the start / destination ports?

We started in Guam. We have not made landfall since.

Just in case anyone is still following this thread, this is the sort of insanity I'm referring to:

The Westerdam has been in effective quarantine for two weeks, no one on board has the virus, and they are STILL being refused permission to dock just because they came from Hong Kong.

We are still en route to Singapore, scheduled to arrive this afternoon. No hint of anything more going awry for us so far, but I'm not going to count any chickens until I've cleared customs back home in the U.S.

Glad they let you off in the end.

I was actually not on the Westerdam, I was on the Crystal Symphony. We ended up disembarking in Singapore on Feb 12.

The Westerdam appeared to have someone that was infected when they were allowed to disembark (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/16/world/asia/coronavirus-cr...).

I'm hoping this doesn't happen on the Crystal Symphony.
