A 32-year-old permanent Canadian resident with Chinese citizenship can no longer go on a family vacation since Norwegian Cruise Lines has banned guests with Chinese passports from boarding.

Yang, 32, has lived in Canada for 15 years and is a permanent resident. The rest of her party are Canadian citizens, but she still retains her Chinese passport. The group won’t go on the trip without her, so all 10 of them will remain in Canada on Saturday, she told CTVNews.ca. Yang has been calling the cruise line every day since she learned of the new policy and has not received a refund.

Yang’s trip isn’t the only cruise spoiled by the policy. A London, Ont., resident told CTV News that their“I feel very discriminated against, and just because I hold a Chinese passport,” said Emma Chen. “I feel sorry for my husband and son, they are not going to be on the cruise too.” Yang found this policy particularly troubling. She has not been to China for several months. “I feel horrible. They’re targeting a race instead of a situation,” she said.

Better than being quarantined for a month....

Blame the bats 🦇 it’s their fault

Good on Norwegian Cruise Lines for trying to protect its customers

What morons are booking cruises during a global pandemic? Sealed up in a floating Petri dish, with thousands of random unknown people, is not my idea of a vacation.

The ultimate first world problem. 🙄
