Absolutely. The ports of call are sovereign countries with their own laws and regulations. Anyone who gets off the ship will certainly have to follow those laws and regulations.

There are still some questions left to be answered:
- Will the countries attempt to impose these requirements on ships entering their waters, even for those who do not get off the ship?

- While there may be requirements like quarantines and retesting after four days, these only make sense for overnight visitors. What will be the requirements for travelers visiting for only a few hours?

- For some of these countries the cruise industry brings in a lot of money. Are they willing to put up walls to prevent that money from coming in?

Have these questions already been answered? Cruises haven't restarted from US ports but are there already sailings from non-US ports?

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
