Poll shows vast majority of Floridians favor COVID-19 vaccine requirement for cruise passengers

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — More than three-quarters of Floridians in a poll released Wednesday disagree with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ policy banning cruise lines from requiring passengers to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

The survey, conducted by the University of South Florida School of Public Affairs, found just 24% said cruise lines should not be allowed to require guests to show proof of vaccination — which is DeSantis’ position.

A plurality, 43%, said it should be mandatory for passengers to provide proof of vaccination on all cruises that port in Florida. And another 33% said it should be up to individual cruise lines. Neither of those options is allowed under rules championed and signed into law by DeSantis.

As with many aspects of the coronavirus pandemic, there’s a huge political divide. Support for mandatory vaccination was almost double for Democrats than Republicans.

DeSantis couldn't care less what they think, because he knows they'll still vote for him.

He's probably going to run for president in 2024 anyways.

This Floridian is definitely in favor of mandatory vaccinations for cruise ship passengers. In fact, I am in favor of mandatory vaccinations, but I realize that is a lost cause. We have so many people from so many different states and different countries that come here, it will take a while for this to all disappear because of one ignorant governor. We still have the highest number of new covid cases in the entire nation per day. They had transitioned and we're going to report weekly, but have been posting the last few days and our numbers are bad compared to other states.
