If they say "everyone must wear red deck shoes or they can't come aboard" then that's the rule. The governor should have NO input on this. At all. It's none of his business.

If the cruise line says "everyone must be able to eat chopped liver and prove it by having a smear on a pumpernickel bagel in order to board" then that's the rule. The governor should have NO input on this. At all. It's none of his business.

And if they say "you must prove that you've been vaccinated against <insert WHATEVER here> then it's none of the governor's business. He should have no input on it at all.
The Governor's actions might also be seen as pushing back against discrimination.

No, Covid vaccination status is not one of the protected classes but that doesn't mean it cannot or should not be protected. Why Covid vaccination and not others? Because no business is attempting to collect and discriminate on the status of other vaccinations or other medical conditions.

If you want to argue that the Governor is overreaching then you must also argue that the CDC is overreaching.
