A federal appeals court has blocked a recent ruling that would lift COVID-19 protocols for cruise ships in Florida.
Since resuming operations this year, cruise ships have followed the CDC’s “conditional sail order” that requires COVID-19 prevention measures and a simulation cruise to test safety protocols before allowing passengers on board.
In a lawsuit supported by Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida said the CDC’s process creates a burden for the cruise ship industry, blocks much-needed jobs, and hinders state tax revenue.
In June, U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday ruled in Florida’s favor, saying that the CDC can’t enforce protocols on Florida-based ships and that the rules should be considered guidelines or recommendations, the AP reported. “Florida persuasively claims that the conditional sailing order will shut down most cruises through the summer and perhaps much longer,” heIn the most recent decision on Saturday, the 11th Circuit didn’t include remarks from the three-judge panel. Those will be released later, according to the AP.
Royal Caribbean Group and Carnival Cruise Line have launched their first cruises from Florida this summer under the CDC guidelines. On Saturday, Disney Cruise Line held its first simulated sailing, the AP reported.
