Glad this is semi solved gives me hope Disney announces something about the Fantasy by Friday.

This is great news!

I think the record infections in Florida will have to have a negative impact on cruising out of the state.

Remains to be seen if other cruise lines can take advantage of this, choose to do so, or join the lawsuit.

Disney is bound to make some announcements on the Fantasy soon....

I need Disney to make decisions and let me know what those are. How it impacts cruising in general doesn't impact me personally.

If it means more restrictions so be it I will think it through after announced. Also if interested look at the 30 day increase % of the 7 day average of positive tests compared to other states like CA or TX or NY.

My point is, with the rapidly changing landscape, they can't make decisions. How can they? People want answers they can't provide.

Please keep in mind the covid policy listed here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/policy-on-covid-related-discussions.3840344/

The webmasters would prefer we keep discussion to published policy and not generally debate % and state statistics. Thank you!

The link you provided is from the FL vs CDC case. No bearing on the NCL vs FL case.

FL can and likely will appeal, but they have not done so yet.

Edit: Sorry I realized you linked to your specific comment in that post, predicting this. my bad.

I'd like to note that this ruling is temporary. To say NCL won the case is a bit misleading.

 

[jrapps]

The article should have said NCL wins injunction, not wins lawsuit.

However, as with many cases, injunctions happen rather quickly and lawsuit take forever. By the time this actually goes to trial, this may all be in our rear view mirror. The real world implications of this are that NCL can now require vaccines, and other cruise lines may decide to follow. As the injunction isn't even 12 hours old yet, there are still more questions than answers.

It’s a nice start to see would enjoy if other cruise line follow suit

 

[Kae]

I have thought for cruise lines they should let them re-start with the requirement and let the cruise line decide how they want to go forward in the future.

 

[jrapps]

FL has already announced their intent to appeal (as expected)

Is the bar higher to appeal the injunction while the case proceeds ahead?

Just how long is this going to go on now??

Thing is even the "win" was just temporary though. So it will go on a long time likely.

A VERY long time, unless someone relents. This is just a preliminary step but it does allow NCL to start cruises with mandatory vaccine documentation. As far as I can tell, the briefing schedule to hear the actual case hasn't even been set yet. I'm not an expert but I wouldn't be surprised if there is flurry of news over the next few weeks (especially if Florida appeals) then radio silence for 6 months.

As a point of reference, in the other case where Florida won an injunction against the CDC, the CDC's brief on the appeal of the preliminary injunction now isn't even due until October 1st.
