I predict that DeSantis will proceed with an exception to the new Florida law. They are discussing the idea that once you’ve stepped on the cruise ship, you’re in international waters and therefore not subject to the new Florida law.
Of course that’s never been true. International waters starts 12 miles from shore. But DeSantis will have to do something to save face and back down.

DeSantis hasn't forbidden airlines from mandating vaccine passports. The airport itself is in Florida, not international territory. But he hasn't dictated to Qatar Airlines, or Delta, or United that it is not "allowed" to show proof of immunity for its international flights. Why has he singled out cruise ships? He needs to just change his mind and say "y'know what, after further reflection, I realize this was a bad move. I hereby rescind this previous rule."
In other words, he needs to demonstrate that he is a sentient human being.
