That is why I changed the post. Right, but there were more than 0%. The whole issue here is that FL's law does not allow cruise lines or anyone else to deny service to unvaccinated customers. By requiring 100% vaccination, they will explicitly be denying service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see what is smarter 60% occupancy and all the revenue that goes with it or macho Frank throwing down the gauntlet and getting zero revenue and hefty legal bills that the decision will be appealed no matter which way it goes (and I would be shocked to see the state lose, but it is immaterial) and your sailing delayed. I appreciate your "concern," but my NCL sailing is moving along just fine and will be 100% vaccinated. 60% revenue likely reflects 0% profit. I think your buddy Frank is the smartest guy in the room. Have you read the threads here? It is clear that the NCL zealots want 100% vaccinated. That said, my comment was clearly hyperbole. Most folks pick up on that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida can easily argue that other cruise lines are adhering to both the CSO and Florida Law. But the other cruise lines are adhering by allowing unvaccinated passengers onboard. Obviously NCL prefers 100% vaccinated. I think that’s smart, especially given the recent rise in cases due to the more contagious and virulent Delta variant. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if any of the cruise lines have been fined or not? There is currently no way to know when and if Florida will enforce the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Does Carnival have to allow any unvaxers? No Sure sounds like they did to me. Unlike NCL, they are not requiring 100% vaxxed guests. You are comparing apples and oranges.

Hello discriminations lawsuits against NCL. For example, from Princess' website for Alaska cruises: Yes. These cruises are available for guests who have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination, in accordance with CDC guidelines. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination and the dates given will be required and will need to be shown at the terminal prior to boarding. Failure to provide this evidence will result in denial of boarding. There is no age restriction on this series of cruises but guests of all ages must be fully vaccinated. https://www.princess.com/plan/cruise-with-confidence/cruise-health/frequently-asked-questions/ Edited July 15, 2021 by JamieLogical 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello discriminations lawsuits against NCL. 🤣 Do you really think that NCL is going to back down from their 100% vaccination requirement because somebody cries "age discrimination?" I know that there are folks ready to sue for anything, but would be interested in seeing how they claim damages. "Mean old NCL wouldn't let my kid get on the ship to catch/spread COVID; I want a bazillion dollars!! Wah, Wah, Wah...." They are scarred for life because they couldn't attend Guppy Academy (or whatever that is called...)

Hello discriminations lawsuits against NCL. Cruise lines, IMO, have the right to set the rules and protocols to cruise with their cruise line. Unvaccinated persons are not permitted due to their protocols. It's not discriminatory, it's their protocols in order to protect their staff/crew and fellow passengers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SpainAlien Posted July 15, 2021 #75 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, Joebucks said: The judge ruled on the CSO that the fact is there was no science to require vaccinations on cruises alone. My understanding was that the judge ruled on whether or not the CSO could stand, deciding instead that the cruise lines could self regulate, the requirement for vaccines was not ruled on In essence Florida sued for the cruise lines to self regulate but are similarly denying them the opportunity, I can see why FDR is suing, for clarification Does anyone have any idea of timeframe?
