If you don't believe that the travel industry can disallow passengers based on their health status you might wish to read THIS which reviews the restrictions placed on pregnant women who wish to fly. For those do cruise you certainly are aware of the health screening form you are required to supply to check in which asks about recent illness.

Princess has this already on their website

We're making sure embarkation reflects best practices by including:

mandatory health screenings including pre-travel testing for COVID-19, touchless temperature checks and health questionnaires
secondary screenings (and health checks throughout the cruise) when necessary
we will refer anyone with signs and symptoms of COVID-19 for additional medical screening and testing before allowing to board
Once vaccines are available I am certain that the cruise industry will require documentation as may the international ports to which the ships go. No vaccine, no entry. It seems likely that there will be a mechanism to have the vaccine information stored in your passport perhaps via a stamp or digitally.
Once the world gets this pandemic under control there will be a massive effort to keep it that way.
