You obviously don’t understand the issue.

The Governor has pushed a new law through that would not allow cruises to leave Florida ports that are following the CDC guidelines. The exception to the law being worked by the Governor would allow cruise lines to require passenger vaccinations.

He has to do this to save face and permit the cruises to start up again. Otherwise, the cruises would NOT be heading out of Florida next month.

Alternatively, the Federal Govt could tell the Governor to keep his nose out of the cruise business as it falls under Federal jurisdiction.
