PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. — Some cruises got the green light to set sail with passengers for the first time in more than a year.

What’s unclear is if people will be required to show a so-called “vaccine passport” to get on board.

On Thursday morning, a federal judge will hear more arguments in Florida’s cruise ship lawsuit.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said cruise ships can sail from U.S. ports if 95% of passengers and 98% of crew members are vaccinated against COVID-19.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law in May that could fine cruise lines $5,000 per passenger required to show proof of vaccination.

The CEO of Celebrity Cruises says she hopes the situation will resolve itself.

“I do think that right now, the opportunity to offer cruises for people who have had the vaccine is really important to our industry,” said Lisa Lutoff Perlo.

A judge said that an impasse was not declared and that mediation is ongoing.
