Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted August 6, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'll add... August 7 Encore will be the first NCL ship to sail on this side of the pond. August 15: Gem is scheduled to be the first to sail from Maimi. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacy-b Posted August 8, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2021 There are a few things they can do to still let the Gem sail on August 15, with or without the ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will comply with the law rather than cancel the Gem. Other cruise lines have developed ways around the law. No legal expert expects the law to be upheld. Businesses are free to forbid NO SHOES NO SHIRT NO SERVICE so during a pandemic its reasonable to request a vaccine. There is just too much case law allowing businesses to run their business the way they decide to keep their staff and customers safe. Once the law is overturned, it will be full steam ahead.

It is so interesting that the FL Gov is trying to tell a business how to run it self Ask any conservative business owner or any business owner, they dont want any government interference To the OP With the Covid case count escalating in FL im thinking cruising will be delayed in the US The cruise lines will continue to sell cruises as they make interest on all the money we give them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping someone from the August sailing does a review like BirdTravels is doing for the Alaska sailing. I would like to know how the whole boarding process works from Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship cam shows it is still docked in Miami and it is set to sail this afternoon so should be boarding now or very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare melodyesch Posted August 15, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’m so curious how this is going to play out in Florida. DH and I are scheduled on the Encore out of Miami in December, but we do not want to go if it’s not 100% vaxed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane67B Posted August 15, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Melodyesch, I am watching closely too. I am on the Encore out of Miami in January. I am really hoping that 100% vaccination continues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warburg Posted August 15, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Greetings from South Beach, close enough to POM to hear the triple blast and see my condo as we sail out. Hoping to hear it today. I am booked on NLC 's Encore from Miami in March and am a cancellation veteran. Hoping for better days now. Bon Voyage to the lucky ones hopefully departing today.
