US Based cruise line,
Windstar cruises, has announced that it will require all passengers to prove completed vaccination status plus two weeks prior to boarding. Additionally they will at the embarkation port do a Covid antigen test which must be negative to be allowed to board. The announcement does not say what format the vaccination proof must be. But here is a perfect example of a business demanding the information that would appear in a Vaccination Passport. There also is nothing on the website as to what refund if any you would receive if you arrive fully vaccinated but have a positive or equivocal antigen test.
Quote:
Windstar Cruises will require proof of a current COVID-19 vaccination for all guests sailing aboard Windstar’s yachts. The cruise line arrived at the decision in the best health and wellness interests of its guests, crew, and the places the yachts visit.
At the cruise terminal prior to embarkation, guests will be required to provide proof of a completed current vaccine course (one or two shots, depending on the brand) finished at least 14 days prior to the guest’s embarkation date.
NEW: No COVID-19 PCR test is required at pier. Windstar will require and administer a free COVID-19 antigen test at pier prior to boarding. A negative test result is required to board.

As Windstar does sail from Miami, I don't know what DeSantis's executive order demands. Is he going to tell Windstar it cannot dock in Florida unless it changes its policy? Or is he going to let the public decide what cruise company to use and the business decide what risk of Covid on board it wants to accept?
