If they are going to deny you boarding, you should be entitled to a refund. Note, I see they're trying to conserve cash and it is only in a form of credit.

All guests who are denied boarding due to these restrictions will receive full refunds in the form of a Future Cruise Credit.
Wonder which major cruiseco will be the first to run into cash crunch/go bankrupt.

Adding:
Also wondering if this is the equivalent of the May 1937 Lakehurst event for large cruise ships (i.e., a Hindenburg event).
