Some cruise lines are defying the Florida state government’s new law banning companies from requiring customers to show proof of vaccinations. Carnival Cruise Line announced a vaccine requirement, despite this violating the ban. “The overwhelming majority, over 90 percent of our customers are saying they want to be on the ship with people that are vaccinated,” said Don O’Neal, the president of the Travelworld travel agency. “And I think Carnival has figured out that that is a much larger pool of customers than the few that don’t want to be vaccinated.” On social media, some praised the decision as “excellent news.” Others bashed the cruise line, refusing to be vaccinated and vowing to “cancel” their vacation. Norwegian Cruise Line recently said that it, too, would require proof of vaccination, even threatening to sail from ports outside of Florida. Royal Caribbean said it would not have a vaccine requirement but could create a two-tier pricing system with those who don’t voluntarily show proof of vaccination would get charged more.
