A U.S. federal judge issued a court ruling on Sunday allowing Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. to document passengers’ COVID-19 immunity status, putting on hold Florida’s ban on “vaccine passports.” In a blow to Governor Ron DeSantis, the ruling comes as big business and some government entities are responding to the rapid spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus with vaccination requirements, prompting legal challenges from vaccine skeptics and civil libertarians. “We are pleased that Judge (Kathleen) Williams saw the facts, the law and the science as we did and granted the Company’s motion for preliminary injunction allowing us to operate cruises from Florida with 100% vaccinated guests and crew,” the company’s executive vice president Daniel S. Farkas said in the statement.
