According to DeSantis' Law, there are certain businesses that can request proof of vaccination in order to enter and prisons are one. Nursing Homes are another just for point of reference. There are others.

There is also the problem that if there are more than 5% un-vaccinated passengers on board then safety protocols must be mandated. This includes masking and distancing. I will not cruise on a ship that mandates masking, distancing and reduced capacity in venues. I'm not alone in this thinking.

DeSantis can ban proof of vaccine in any venue he wishes, just not cruise ships.

All my opinion, of course.

Held captive? At an average of 2500 bucks per person. No one is impressed into the cruising navy.
