What people are angry about is the governor telling a private place of business that they aren't allowed to set their own safety policies for their own paying customers.
People don't have the "right" to go on a cruise ship. You don't have that right. You just don't. If a cruise line wants to ALLOW you to board its ship, it has the RIGHT to set restrictions if it wants to. As long as those restrictions don't violate your CIVIL rights, then they can make those restrictions.
They can't refuse to sell you a ticket because you're black, or white, or disabled, or a woman, or a man, or Muslim, or Jewish, or Christian, or Pagan. But they CAN refuse to sell you a ticket if you refuse to vaccinate. Being vaccinated is not listed as a protected class.
The governor doesn't care. That's what people are angry about.

You do understand that the cruise lines are only implementing the mask and vaccine mandates because they are trying to appease government officials in order to stay in business.
The cruise lines aren't happy about restricting their passengers, they are only doing it to protect themselves from unnecessary governmental overreach - long quarantines, being turned away from ports, etc.
It's like putting a gun to someone's head and then marveling how they are so willing to do everything that you say even if it is to their own detriment. DeSantis is not having it and he is standing up for the cruise industry.
