Norwegian Cruise Line Sues Florida Over, Ban on Vaccine Requirements.<br />Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) filed<br />a lawsuit against Florida’s surgeon general on<br />July 13 in Miami federal court.<br />The cruise line is challenging a state ban that<br />prevents companies from requiring passengers to<br />provide proof of COVID-19 vaccinations. .<br />With the ban in place, NCLH would have to pay $5,000<br />each time it mandates a passenger provide such proof. .<br />The upshot places NCLH in an impossible<br />dilemma as it prepares to set sail from<br />Florida: NCLH will find itself either on<br />the wrong side of health and safety and<br />the operative federal legal framework, or<br />else on the wrong side of Florida law, NCLH, via CNN.<br />NCLH wants the ban lifted by August 6, as its intention<br />was to restart operations in Florida ports on August 15. .<br />If it’s not lifted, NCLH says it won’t be able<br />to sail from Florida, which would cause <br />“devastating, unrecoverable loss for everyone.”.<br />Not only for NCLH’s business but also for<br />tens of thousands of passengers, employees,<br />and stakeholders who all benefit from<br />NCLH resuming safe operations as planned, NCLH, via Huffpost.<br />The executive order in question was signed into law in<br />April by Florida’s Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis.<br />In Florida, your personal choice regarding<br />vaccinations will be protected and no<br />business or government entity will be able to<br />deny you services based on your decision, Ron DeSantis, via CNN
