The Disney Dream sails out of Port Canaveral, Fla., on a two-night simulation cruise on Saturday. | Malcolm Denemark/Florida Today via APA late-night order from a federal appeals court Saturday dealt a major setback to Florida’s effort to lift restrictions the federal government imposed on the cruise ship industry in order to prevent outbreaks of the coronavirus.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, brought the suit and touted the ruling last month from U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday as a victory for Florida's economic comeback from the major slowdown in tourism during the pandemic. When Merryday issued the now-lifted preliminary injunction at DeSantis’ request on June 18, the judge said it appeared the CDC’s orders related to cruise ships exceeded its authority.
Merryday’s order was set to take effect at midnight Sunday if the appeals court had not acted. He also ordered both sides to continue discussions before a mediator about a potential compromise.
