A Norwegian cruise company is threatening to boycott Florida unless the state rolls back regulations banning requirements that people show proof of vaccination before using a business or service.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings CEO Frank Del Rio said during an earnings call on Thursday that he would stop sending cruise ships through Florida unless the state allowed companies to bar people based on whether or not they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Del Rio’s threat came days after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed legislation barring the state and local governments and businesses from requiring so-called vaccine passports.
