Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Is Crafting A Cruise Line Exemption For His Vaccine Passport Ban

[Bill14564]

Being wishy-washy and reinterpreting what it means to be in International waters is a terrible solution; DeSantis should stick to his guns.

[Stu from NYC]

Hope that all passengers and crew have to be vaccinated so we can cruise without a mask while on the ship.

If we need mask do not think we will cruise.

[kcrazorbackfan]

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.

He is trying to do what is best for the economy of Florida. There are a lot of people that depend on the cruise ports for their livelyhood and some of the countries/islands that the cruise ships dock at may not allow un-vaccinated entry.

This might be good for other businesses but it might keep the cruise industry out of Florida. Since cruising is different than most anything else it should be no shot, no cruising.

I think an exception makes sence. Espically since you are going to different ports that may require documentations. Going on a cruise is different than going to the food store or hardware so I can see different options for each.

Oh joy. Another person who thinks everyone wants to know they got their shot....yawn....

Vaccination requirements have been around for years and has not been a big deal like it is being made to be today.

If one does not meet the vaccination requirements they do not get in or get to go.

Not a big deal (until being politicized).

[Aloha1]

As with the border crisis and the inability to find anyone to work the over 8 million available jobs, the Florida vaccine law invoked the Law Of Unintended Consequences.

The Governor had the good sense to realize this and is crafting a favorable resolution for the cruise lines and all the on shore jobs they provide.

You are spot on.

[Skunky1]

It is totally up to the captain who he lets on the ship. I truly think the federal government should weigh in on this just like they have mandated mask for the airports and airplanes.

And ultimately, the cruise lines have the right to pull out of Florida ports. I would not put this past them if things really get dicey.

[Nannyof3]

this IS important. many jobs rely on the cruise industry.
