HONG KONG (China Daily/Asia News Network): Hong Kong authorities prevented a Royal Caribbean cruise ship from departing the city's terminal late on Thursday (Oct 21) as a crew member was suspected to have Covid-19 after routine testing, the government and the cruise operator said.

The Spectrum of the Seas ship was scheduled to begin a "cruise to nowhere" journey in nearby waters, restricted to half capacity and only for fully vaccinated residents who tested negative for the virus 48 hours prior to the trip.
