Sad to think that these clown could have a viable industry but want politics instead.

IMO those judges over the weekend threw the cruise lines a big life preserver. Cruise lines can ill afford a major covid breakout on one of their voyages and would generally prefer to have as many crew and passengers vaccinated as possible - without playing referee with extra insurance charges and other disincentives. The ban on “vaccine passports” by DeSantis and others made everything a lot more difficult for the cruise lines. It’s a shame this has become such a political football.

Meanwhile this is a cruise cruise related thread on free republic so I look forward to reading all the ad hominem anti-cruise comments (“floating petri-dish” blah blah blah)…

“Carnival has four Florida ports, in Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando and Tampa.”

Carnival has a port in Orlando?

I generally won at Carnival whenever I played other people.

However, Florida has a law prohibiting companies from requiring that customers be vaccinated against COVID-19.

I have posted the final few lines from Florida law here. Those clearly state that corporations can follow government guide lines with respect to vaccination rules. In other words Florida law allows Carnival and others to follow dictate from CDC.

“The company recently announced a rule where unvaccinated passengers who want to board a Carnival-owned cruise ship must first purchase a travel insurance policy worth at least $10,000.”

We always buy travel insurance because we witnessed a passenger being airlifted off the ship for a medical emergency. We heard that can cost well over $25,000.
