Summary
Norwegian Cruise Line Holding's CEO Frank Del Rio has been tossing the idea of all cruise guests receiving an immunity passport. Basically, you would have to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to cruise. Is that legal? Are cruise lines allowed to do that? We discuss.
Sherry Laskin has cruise news:
- Carnival Panorama is headed back to North America
- Virgin Voyages delays both new ships into 2021
- NCL looking to make guests get a vaccine to cruise
- You can lease a cruise cabin by the day, week or month
- Princess Cruises gives a money-back guarantee
