ORLANDO, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday urged the federal government to allow Florida-based cruise ships to start sailing again this June.
“We need to be able to get these cruise lines operating again,” DeSantis said during a discussion with cruise industry leaders at Port Canaveral, a crucial dock for Florida-based cruise ships. “In Florida, we have everything going on except the cruise lines because the federal government won’t let the cruise lines sail.”
He added, “We’re the most crippled by what they’re doing with this national cruise lockdown, and so we get liberated from that, you’re going to be able to see maybe tens of thousands, maybe even 100,000 more people going back to work.”
