DeSantis says he will fine any cruise line requiring proof of vaccination

[Callen]

Who do you think wins? DeSantis and his desire to control businesses or will the cruise lines simply go elsewhere? DeSantis says if they leave, others will take their place. May be correct but looking at the long list of premiere cruise lines demanding proof of vaccination they will be replaced by second rate lines. Glad our preferred line, Oceania, is pushing back on this. I know I will never cruise again on any cruise ship that does not demand proof of vaccination. Will be interesting to watch

The federal government will win... The constitution gives authority over navigable waters to the federal government.

Governor DeathSantis is a lunatic. There is nothing to be gained by this except to please a literal death cult. Nothing.

Its like a vaccination tax, as they're paying the fine will be less costly than the business they are apt to lose by following the law.

He's tough. Conservatives love that. Never mind that he's a moron.

However, it does risk the loss of thousands and thousands of jobs and tourist dollars....and what happened to staying out of the business of business. Pure politics. The man is a jerk.

If you have been vaccinated it doesnt matter if some people around you have not been. You libs just cannot tolerate not being able to control people.

Fine him!

Nah. Ill just laugh at him.

The Governor does not have the power to fine a Cruise Company because of a vaccination requirement.

Cruise ships cannot control norovirus..............

Clearly, you have no concept of what an outbreak amongst the unvaccinated would do to disrupt a cruise. The infected would require confinement and medical care at sea. The disruption to the staff would be significant and no doubt the ship would have to return to port prematurely. I don't want to be paying big money to have my trip disrupted in that manner.

Honestly there will be no replacement, since other harbors, in and outside the US will require vaccination pass. The very definition of a cruice is that it goes to more than one place. Or maybe they can start a line that only goes between the republican states in the uS, that would work. (Not a very high profile line though)

You just wait, it is just a matter of time before he himself are caught with a vaccine pass. I doubt very much he will be satisfied to only travel between a couple of states for one of his 12 yearly vacations

Slowly but surely the people who refuse to get vaccinated will be shunned from many activities. I saw the other day a band will be having a concert, if you're vaccinated, tickets are eighteen dollars, if not vaccinated, a thousand dollars. So go without proof of vaccination and see what happens. All of a sudden the R's think it's ok for government to tell them what they can and can't do?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The republicans don't govern, they rule and DeSantis is a walking and talking example.

The cruise lines will relocate to Caribbean ports.

Willing to bet he can't. The Feds regulate ports.

Not so sure. The infrastructure and supply system for cruise ships is huge and expensive. I think much more likely they go to court if DeSantis doesn't fold.

Your chances of the ship hitting an iceberg are greater than your pie in the sky scenario

He doesn't have the power to fine anybody.
If a Governor can make laws about international shipping, what's to stop the Governor of Idaho getting in on the act? He has as much jurisdiction over the ports as DeSantis.

You have a valid point. Look at it this way, if the cruise companies have to invest heavily to incorporate their supply systems in Caribbean ports, they'll never return to Florida.

I am also thinking of the cost to a local government to verify citizenship, passports etc. I have cruised a lot and the burden for citizenship etc rests with the point of embarkation and final umbaording. The ports in between verify nothing...which I always found odd.

I dont know. Governors seem to have the power to demand that entire industries close and/or obey his edicts or be subject to fines. How is this different?
