I suppose Norwegian Caribbean could pull out of the state but you KNOW Fla would make it a bitch to get back in.. This would only work if ALL the cruise ships required proof of vaccination. That would be a problem for DeSatin.. ymmv

required, as nice change from 2020, but no. Cruise lines that do require vaccination will likely be priced to reflect it.

Who on earth's going to go on noncompliant ships with the Delta variant sweeping the nation and even vaccinated people running a real risk of illness trapped with carriers on a ship that isn't allowed into any ports?

Noticed Royal Caribbean has a trial ship going out of Miami this evening. 600 volunteer crew, 95+ or more vaccinated, in accordance with CDC requirement. The alternative requirement was 95% vaccinated passengers and crew.

office) aren't asking themselves this, is will anyone even bother to come? I kind of think that a lot of them won't, why put themselves at risk? Idiots. A lot of states are going to find out that the US traveling public isn't really terribly interested in traveling too awful much yet, maybe some will, but IMHO, not near as many as before will travel now, until things get even more better.

I know in MO, they have been running ads for tourists to come to MO, e.g., the Branson / Silver Dollar City / other locations have all been running tourist ads, and I imagine a lot of the states have been running tourism ads/offering rebates on some of the travel expenses, etc. in trying to get tourists back.

Getting tourism restarted is going to be difficult, especially when a state rules that vaccine visas are illegal, that businesses are not to use these...if a state outlaws a method of protecting myself (via vaccine visas), they are out of the picture period, in my family/friends and / or I traveling to FL that outlaws me in determining how safe it is to travel somewhere.

Not sure about the cultists...if they are too wrapped up in their crap to care about going to anything than a cult rally or event.

I would hope the cruise ships would just say no, we are not opening up if they can’t ask for proof of vaccination. The money and the reputation they lost initially, why would they set themselves up for a repeat. I did read a cruise ship had to be quarantined due to staff having come down with covid. For me, I just can’t imagine being packed in on a huge ship with up to 30-50% of ppl being unvaccinated

geographical areas they come from are going to be suffering severe outbreaks of the new type of covid 19, so they're going to be busy trying to stay alive, not be too interested in traveling (IMHO)...

Take care and be safe my friend...

Hotels ... not so much. Even as far as national parks - you'll find visitors to some of the lesser well known areas of the major parks - or lesser visited parks previously, are gaining share.

Even with typical vacations there's a shift in the works. For instance Myrtle Beach proper is doing fine, but it is possible to find a room - normally that's mighty difficult. On the flip side, beachfront area north and south of Myrtle Beach, mostly residential, have the VRBO / AirBnB listings booked out all summer.

The pandemic changed people's priorities regarding what they are willing to put up with in order to travel. It isn't just the disease risk, it is also the hassle level.

Branson area is particularly geared to big tour buses and crowds. I believe you'll find people generally have less tolerance for that as a "vacation" and it will shift to less crowded pursuits.

In a long time.

I hope the cruise lines make a similar argument against the State of Florida.

Sounds like it will be a disaster!
