Copied from celebrity  post, haven’t yet seen anything from Azamara yet but would think they will issue something similar very soon.

We are closely monitoring global developments regarding the coronavirus, and we are fully focused on protecting the health and safety of our guests and crew.  After consultation with CDC, WHO and other public health authorities, we are implementing several measures to protect guests and crew. These steps are intentionally conservative, and we apologize that they will inconvenience some of our guests.  Until further notice, all ships in the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. fleet will adopt these health screening protocols: 

 

1. Regardless of nationality, we will deny boarding to any individual who has travelled from, to or through mainland China or Hong Kong in the past 15 days. These guests will receive full refunds.

 

2. There will be mandatory specialized health screenings performed on:

Guests who have been in contact with individuals who have traveled from, to or through mainland China or Hong Kong in the past 15 days;

All holders of China or Hong Kong passports – regardless of when they were last in China or Hong Kong;

Guests who report feeling unwell or demonstrate any flu-like symptoms;

Any guest presenting with fever or low blood oximetry in the specialized health screening will be denied boarding.

 

3. These standards also apply to all employees, crew members and contractors of RCL.

 

4. We have cancelled all China and Hong Kong sailings through mid-February. Guests on cancelled cruises will also receive full refunds.

We have rigorous medical protocols in place to help passengers and crew members who feel unwell while sailing. Our protocols include professional medical treatment; quarantine of unwell individuals from the general ship population; and intensified ship cleaning, air filtration, and sanitization procedures.  We are assessing developments constantly and will update these measures, as needed.  Guests with questions may contact the customer care department of our individual cruise lines.

Hope all the Brits going on the Australia/New Zealand cruises with Hong Kong transits (there will be many) can get new flights

I think there will be quite a scramble for them. I know some of the fellow passengers on our cruise in April have already rescheduled their flights to Singapore as they were flying via China.
