Unvaccinated Floridians

[LDW]

I applied for accommodation due to my medical exemption for unvaccinated status but was denied the ability to cruise. Our departure is suppose to be from Port Canaveral (Florida) where the governor has made it illegal to ask for any businesses to demand a vaccine passport. Has anyone that is unvaccinated tried to board RCCL from Port Canaveral and what happened?  Were you allowed to board?

Good Luck! Just know that if you get to the port and they don't allow you to board, you will probably lose your money.

Perhaps you need to look into the details of the state law, such as what remedies you may have (aah, none), and also you may want to consider what authority the State of Florida has over a foreign flagged vessel that is subject to international and Federal rules and regulations, especially when the State regulations conflict with the other regulations.

I think you need more than good luck to try to force the issue.  I'd bet the cruise ship lawyers are completely confident that the State has no basis for collecting a $5000 fine for each 'violation'. Some day, vaccine status criteria will become a thing of the past.

LDW myself and a few other family's were denied getting on the ship last Sept, they changed the ruling a few days before, & RC never notified us.

This will be very difficult pursuit.  RCCL may not allow you to board and you may lose you money.  The current requirement is for everyone boarding regardless which state or country they are from.  I would not take the chance.
