During the remainder of the time on board, guests will continue to be provided complimentary internet and telephone service to stay in contact with their family and loved ones.

Kazuhiro Tateda, president of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, said the new coronavirus appears to be similar to easily spread viruses that cause the common cold.
Some passengers in windowless cabins have been allowed to take walks on upper decks, wearing gloves and face masks and keeping their distance from each other as a precaution against the possible spread of the virus, according to announcements on the ship.
