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.
