Crystal Cruises included a Miami leg to its all-Bahamas itinerary on Monday.
This allows cruise passengers to experience a US port of call and offers a third boarding point for passengers in the midst of a U-turn in Florida's ban against cruise lines asking for passengers' vaccination status.
ABC News reported that a federal judge has decided that cruise lines can ask for the vaccination status of passengers and has temporarily blocked Florida's law.
The article explains that Norwegian Cruise Line, which championed the fight to ask for passengers' vaccination status, contends that unvaccinated travellers on cruise ships represent a public health hazard and could cause a super spreader event.
