- passengers can be required to show documentation of COVID-19 vaccination
- NCLH plans to resume sailing from Florida for the first time since the pandemic aboard the Norwegian Gem
- the Statute does not prohibit businesses from requiring their employees to provide COVID-19 vaccination documentation
Norwegian Cruise Lines succeeded in the US District Court in enjoining the application of a Florida statute prohibiting Florida businesses from requiring patrons to document they have been vaccinated as a condition of service says an article on Gard.
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination
Planning to resume passenger cruises from Florida on 15 August 2021, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) adopted a policy requiring all passengers on its vessels to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and to provide documentation confirming their vaccination status.
Florida statute
NCLH’s policy, however, was at odds with a recently enacted Florida statute, Fla. Stat. § 381.00316 (Statute), prohibiting businesses in the state from requiring patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or services.
