I don't believe they are going to cave to NCL over something of such magnitude. NCL needs Florida a lot more than Florida needs NCL. I don't even know how NCL is still solvent. Carnival stated long ago they didn't believe in mandating vaccines. As far as Disney goes they didn't fight to open Disneyland I don't see them taking on Florida.Del Rio, the CEO of NCL, says that they believe that Florida probably doesn't have the authority to do it, but I'm betting litigating that would be costly and time consuming so I imagine that they're hoping that applying political pressure allow them to avoid litigating the issue.
As for "waiting to start sailing", Del Rio has been blustering about other aspects of the CDC guidelines which he believes are untenable at the moment, although given that the CDC just released the technical guidance for cruising on Wednesday it's not clear to me that there is "waiting" as much as there is a ramp up time to understand and figure out how to implement the guidance.
I agree with Del Rio on one thing the CDC guidelines are untenable. July is just two months away. I don't foresee anyone sailing out of the states.
