    Or anyone. A business should be allowed to follow common sense hygiene rules. It's DeSantis who is fucking with capitalism for political reasons. If a cruise line or store wants to mandate masks, vax or shirts and shoes, they should be allowed to do so.

    This is America baby.........
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    True. OTOH, company lawyers, or the insurance company lawyers, would lay out the cruise line's liability.

    It comes down to cost/benefit analysis, actuaries and such. How much money they would make and risk losing if they stay versus how much they'd make and risk losing if they go to up the coast.

    Again, this is DeSantis fucking with capitalism for politics, not a business fucking with politics over capitalism...which you and I seemed to be agreed that they should be able to do if they were that fucking stupid.

    It's a quote, dumbass. Get your head out of your ass and get a fucking clue.

    If Norwegian is so bad, then what the fuck are you so upset about? Why do you think it's okay for politicians to fuck with businesses?

    Liberals think it's OK for cruise ships to require proof of vaccination, but not require proof of identification to vote. Fucking hypocrites...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Farther to fly for people from Texas and they are HUGE part of the cruise line business. Plus people from Florida cruise a lot. So it would less convenient for two states with HUGE populations. I don't blame cruise lines for requiring a vaccination to cruise but they should not expect the government to require a vaccine passport.
