Plaintiff Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. sued Defendant Dr. Scott Rivkees, Surgeon General of Florida and head of the Florida Department of Health, to enjoin enforcement of Florida Statute § 381.00316. Plaintiff asserted that the statute prevented them from requiring passengers to provide "any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery" prior to boarding, and violated their rights under the First Amendment, the dormant Commerce Clause and Substantive Due Process, and is also preempted by the CDC's Conditional Sailing Order.
