Ron DeSantis is attempting to singlehandly kill off the cruise industry in Florida with his idiotic ban on vaccine passports. But the Trumptards will be happy I suppose, so go get 'em Ron-Ron!!!!
The cruise lines, naturally, are pushing back, insisting that they will require proof of vaccination and challenge DeSantis's 'order' in court. If they lose, they intend to leave the state. No cruise is going to allow their ships to sail with unvaccinated passengers, and no vaccinated passenger in their right mind would board without that requirement.
"Despite the insistence from DeSantis and Abbott, however, several cruise operators said this week that they plan to mandate vaccines on departures from Florida and Texas this summer.
Celebrity Cruises will be the first to attempt to navigate between DeSantis and the CDC, with a departure from Florida set for June 26. The company is requiring all passengers older than 16 to be vaccinated.
Meanwhile, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings announced Monday that it plans to resume cruises out of Miami in August -- and will require all passengers to be vaccinated.
"At the end of the day, cruise ships have motors, propellers and rudders, and God forbid we can't operate in the state of Florida for whatever reason, then there are other states that we do operate from, and we can operate from the Caribbean for a ship that otherwise would have gone to Florida," CEO Frank Del Rio said on a May earnings call."

DeSantis might be the worst Governor in the nation. And he is about to be sucked into the Gaetz scandal. Can't wait to get rid of this idiot.
Discuss.

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.
Desantis just want to spread the theory of Don that the virus is a hoax. He wants to use his power to push it in industries that are more interested in building business. Getting vaccines for all employees and demanding them from those who want to go, makes sense for them.

Good luck with that. The more corrupt and incompetent they are, they harder it is to get rid of them.
I don't blame the cruise lines at all. If there is a disease outbreak, or even one that can be traced back to them, it will cost them millions in lost fares and compensation. No doubt there are some juicy torts in there for passengers who contracted the virus while on a cruise because the line didn't require vaccines.

Certainly, sir.
"St. Petersburg, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis was joined by local legislators and small business owners in St. Petersburg where he signed Senate Bill (SB) 2006, landmark legislation aimed at stemming the tide of local and state government overreach.
"The bill takes aim at arbitrary lockdowns, vaccine passports and enhances emergency preparedness for future emergencies."

I love how "small government" conservatives abandon what they do not really believe in the second one of their sky daddies does it to promote one of their wedge issues.

I don't believe it's a law, I believe it's and Executive Order only.

I was waiting for someone really stupid to make that statement, and Yakuda didn't disappoint. If there is an outbreak on a cruise ship, it won't make a fucking bit of difference if you're vaccinated or not. You'll spend the next few weeks locked in your cabin. Why would ANYONE take that risk? The answer is, they won't.

“In Florida, your personal choice regarding vaccinations will be protected and no business or government entity will be able to deny you services based on your decision. I’d like to thank President Simpson, Speaker Sprowls and the Florida Legislature for getting this legislation got across the finish line.”
