      Vaccine passports are a bad idea sold badly, but in the unique setting of cruise ships - people cooped up together at length, hard to get sick people swiftly off the ship, history of shipboard outbreaks - the cruise lines should have the right to require proof of vaccination.

      I get why governors who are trying to draw a line in the sand on this issue are staging a public fight with the cruise lines, but they really would be better served just exempting them from the no-vaccine-requirements laws.

      Meanwhile, as usual, while everybody is yelling at Florida about vaccine passports, the NY vaccine passport is a wildly expensive failure with hidden costs and a hidden agenda.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/nyregion/excelsior-pass-vaccine-passport.html …

      You assume that the only parties here are the passengers, not the cruise line, which has substantial business risks at stake.https://twitter.com/KurtSchlichter/status/1402648589503852550 …

      If the hotel floats out to sea for a month, sure. Most hotel stays are much shorter than stays on a cruise ship, & involve much more daily turnover.https://twitter.com/RBPundit/status/1402648976063610882 …

      WRONG. Why? Because this logic about cruise ships applies to hotels / resorts and on down the line. The correct answer is to ban vaccine passports. PERIOD. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1402647101067177994 …

          I'd be okay with a cruise ship line that insisted people are vaccinated against nearly every damn disease on earth, and then put the passengers and crew through an ADROMEDA STRAIN style decontamination process before they set foot on the ship.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1vw7E7uE3E …

          Also, if someone gets sick in a hotel, they generally don't have to provide them with medical care or arrange for an expensive medevac as opposed to just calling 911.

          Cruise ships air is somewhat like an aircraft, though it’s filtration system is less efficient. But an aircraft actually replaces the entire volume of air every 3-5 mins. That’s doesnt happen on ships and cabin to cabin air transfer happens.https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2020/Q1/cruise-ship-ac-systems-could-promote-rapid-coronavirus-spread,-prof-says.html …

          As we learned over a year ago, the ONLY thing Republicans/Chamber of Commerce were interested in was liability protection for business so they could put employees/customers at risk of infection/death to make money. Some businesses are smarter than that.

          Leaving aside the politics of #VaccinePassport There is a policy logic behind the use of #VaccinePassports as a requirement to board a #cruise.https://twitter.com/CJArndt/status/1402742298480451585?s=19 …

          Cruiselines have a fiscal duty to demand any documentation that would minimize the risk of legal action against them if a contagious person spreads any given doom virus aboard one of their vessels. In fact this is the only situation where I am for #VaccinePassports.
