You do if you want to travel to certain countries. If you haven't been vaccinated or otherwise immunized against Yellow Fever, there are certain countries you are not allowed to fly to. You must provide - get ready for it - here it comes - a vaccine passport to prove that you have been vaccinated against it.
You still need a negative Covid-19 test in order to return to the USA, even in countries where you're not required to prove you're immune.
In some countries, you can enter without a vaccine, but you'll have to quarantine before you can actually go anywhere once your plane lands. If you show proof of vaccination, they'll waive the quarantine.
There's no reason why a ship shouldn't be allowed to mandate whatever they want for the safety and peace of mind of their passengers. They COULD say "okay - no vaccine proof. But none of you are allowed to leave the ship, and you MUST wear masks whenever you leave your staterooms."
That'd be shooting themselves in the foot though. So instead of going that route, they're saying "show me you're vaccinated, and you can be on this ship, and go wherever we take you, and while you -may- wear a mask if you'd like, we won't require it."
Demanding that ships not require proof of vaccination is no different from the sheriff of Ocala demanding that everyone take their masks OFF when they enter his building. It's stupid, it's pointless, it's counter-productive, it's potentially risky, and it's bad for business.
