Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line said it may avoid Florida ports because of the Sunshine State’s vaccine passport ban.
“But at the end of the day, cruise ships have motors, propellers, and rudders. And God forbid we can’t operate in the state of Florida for whatever reason, then there are other states that we do operate from. And we can operate from the Caribbean for ships that otherwise would have gone to Florida,” Norwegian President and Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Del Rio told reporters on Thursday during an earnings call for the first quarter of 2021.
He said all cruise companies want to operate in Florida because the market is “lucrative” and hoped the disputes over the vaccine passport ban can be solved.
“We hope that this hasn’t become a legal football or a political football,” he said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis codified the prohibition of COVID-19 vaccine passports by signing Florida Senate Bill 2006 into law on May 3. He initiated the ban through an executive order in August.
The new law will be effective on July 1, 2021.
The Epoch Times reached out to DeSantis’s office for comments.

I will say that showing a Yellow Card to enter a country is not the same thing as showing a Yellow Card to enter a business in the United States.

I’m not betting.
I made a simple prediction. Time will tell if I’m right or wrong.
Sure, Jim 😉
You seriously are taking a freedom issue and turning it into an anti-vax?
You’re ok with these passports?
Ditto and I go one step further: either these "vaccines" work or they don't.
I'm vaccinated so what's the big deal about being around non-vaccinated people? I'm "protected" from them giving me the 'Rona and they're protected from me giving it to them, right?
So what's the big f'n deal?
Vaccine passports? HELL NO. Whether one's vaccinated or not we should all understand what an infringement on our rights and liberties that would be.
Anyone that bends knee to these passports and these new “vaccines” is a slave and not American. They have no business existing in a free society and should remove themselves to some paradise such as China, Venezuela, Burma etc. Those who remain should be ready to stand for freedom. It’s under extremely heavy attack and aided by quite a few sociopaths right here on FR.
You staying home with your fears works fine. Expecting others to get unwanted or possibly dangerous medical treatment to accommodate your fears isn't fine.
So just stay TF home I guess.
The left is now in a state of angry hysteria over De Santis because he is very likely going to run for president. More and more states and companies are going to boycott Florida. The media is going to work hard casting De Santis as racist/sexist/etc, and then they all are going to support that fiction.
We did a Norwegian Cruise in Hawaii, around the various islands. We paid for State Rooms, and they had no problem cashing the check, and giving us balcony’s below the galley’s where we were serenaded with pots and pans into the late night, and were waken each morning at 4am to vacuum cleaners going over the floors, and breakfast shift beginning the day’s feasts.
In the evenings, we feasted on day old Sarah Lee bread, and meals that were fixed “cafeteria style”; our rooms were cleaned promptly by 4:30pm, or not. The staff was American, and generally not happy about their jobs. Despite the “sailing” being between the various Hawaiian islands, the ship was in dismal condition.
I took photo’s and documented what happened, and everyone in the party (family, celebrating Mom and Dad In-Law’s Diamond Anniversary) was given a credit equal to the price of the cruise. We passed, we wasted one vacation on Norwegian, we won’t waste another when we have had such wonderful cruises on Princess, Celebrity and Carnival. Norwegian is the cheapest of the cruise lines - for a reason.
I suggest you drop the extra ~$100 and go on Carnival, or Royal Caribbean - and see what cruising is really all about. You don’t know what you are missing, until you see what you have missed.
One would hope he wouldn't favor one business over another. There are enough scales and favors toward one group or another.
They will know we didn’t take it when we are the only ones left.
“The antivax side is not going to win the passport fight.”
Just because you’re all bought into it and emotionally invested??
He doesn't need to exempt anything. If he does, then all he's doing is saying that he supports vaccine passports and proving everything he has said and done before is a lie.
The difference between all the vaccines you rattled off and the covid vaccine are, the covid vaccine isn’t approved. They are experimental.
We are still waiting on you lab rats to see how safe they are. So far it isn’t looking so good
When illegal aliens with the virus and without ID can cross borders, yes, we can fight this fascist oppression on civil rights grounds ...
