At least 17 people on board the Norwegian Breakaway tested positive for COVID-19, including one probable case of the omicron variant. The cruise line said that all confirmed cases are asymptomatic.
A judge's preliminary injunction allows Norwegian Cruise Line to require customers to show vaccination against COVID-19 before boarding, despite a Florida law banning such requirements by businesses.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended the 'no sail' order for cruise lines until Oct. 31. The CDC had wanted the delay into next year but the White House reportedly intervened.
