This applies to private islands as well

 

This comes into effect from 3rd September so I guess the other cruise lines going from Florida will have to ask for vaccine status after all.  I wonder if they will join NCL's law suit now or enter into negotiations with Ron DeSantis?

No, providing of vaccination status will be voluntary at the pier for embarkation.

 

Of course if one can not voluntarily provide the information needed to allow the ship to enter a foreign port, one can not embark the ship.

 

And no, it is not a denial of service. If one carefully reads the Florida law, it states that the requirements of the law does not override any restrictions put in place for reasons of public health.

Looks like NCL will have the Bahamas to themselves. Just wish they would get more ships going.

Aren't other cruise lines leaving from the Bahamas?  That would mean that those flying in for a cruise would have to be vaccinated to enter the country.
