Florida Sues the CDC and Biden Administration as Cruise Lines Cancel More Cruises

The state of Florida has launched a lawsuit calling for the immediate restart of cruising from U.S. ports. The move comes after pleas from cruise lines like Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) and the Cruise Lines International Association, or CLIA, for the CDC to green-light a phased restart of summer cruises went unheeded. The state attorney general's complaint describes the CDC's actions as "arbitrary and capricious" and asserts "the cruise industry has been singled out, and unlike the rest of America, prevented from reopening."
