I hope to be able to cruise from a Florida port and can not understand why DeSantis can't just say that after reconsideration he realizes it would be economically advantageous to go along with the CDC and open Florida ports. There is nothing wrong with saying you were wrong. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. It makes you human and willing to compromise.

That's exactly what I said a couple of pages back. What desantis did, is no different from if he told people at BlueFin that they are not ALLOWED to make their employees wash their hands, and are not ALLOWED to make sure that any pesticides or bait traps are kept away from the food.
The content is different, but the intention is the same. desantis is telling a company that they are not allowed to do whatever they think is necessary to provide a safe experience for their customers. Whether you (the generic you, not you personally) agree that it's safe or not, is not the point. The point is it's not your place to decide what someone else feels is safe for THEIR customers. Just like desantis can't tell your neighbor that he's not allowed to ask to see your vaccine card if you want to come over his house - he can't tell the cruise line that they're not allowed to see your vaccine card if you want to board their ship.
Cruise ships are not open to the public. You have to pay to board. You have to have their permission, and you have to comply with all kinds of rules and regulations in order to enjoy the privilege - not the right - to sail as a passenger on one of their ships. This is another regulation, and they have the right to make it. You have the right to not sail. The governor has the right to whine.
