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.

Sure enough BUT......all passengers must wear masks, even in between bites of food and sips of a drink. I do not want to have to do that on a cruise ship. It is as simple as that.

Now we wait for the exit strategy (or BS!).

In a press release Friday announcing cruises for sale on eight of its ships from U.S. ports this summer, starting with Freedom of the Seas from PortMiami on July 2, the company said it will recommend passengers get the COVID-19 vaccine, but not require it. The announcement is a reversal from previous statements andvaccine protocols the company submitted to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month that said it would require all passengers at least 18 years old and older to be vaccinated.

“Guests are strongly recommended to set sail fully vaccinated, if they are eligible,” the company said in a statement. “Those who are unvaccinated or unable to verify vaccination will be required to undergo testing and follow other protocols, which will be announced at a later date.”

There seems to a tremendous amount of rage about our Governor's policy to prevent restricting the rights of citizens who choose not to take an experimental vaccine.

Just curious if those concerned are also infuriated that our nation was lied to by NIH about the true origin of the most deadly virus of our lifetime. And also tried to cover up that the NIH provided funds to the notorious lab and went along with the farce of a WHO investigation. And never held the Chinese Communists accountable for prohibiting domestic travel while encouraging its citizens to travel to earth's farthest reaches resulting in millions of deaths and a global economic disaster.

The testing is reasonable but the "other protocols" sounds dubious.

There are too many things to do on land; no cruises for us. Will not chance getting stuck on a boat if a bunch come down sick.

Interesting you quote Fauci when it has been revealed that he was culpable in the funding of the Wuhan Lab studies into gain of function of the bat virii. Fauci has lied to Congress and must be prosecuted for that.
