I agree, but I used to argue with my liberal friends about issues like this. I never thought that in 2021 that I would be arguing with conservatives about what government's role in private businesses should be. I thought we were all on the same page on this.

To me it boils down to a few questions: Is cruise travel a constitutional right or an essential part of American life?

No

Is the Cruise line discriminating against anyone based on age, gender, race, or anything that is not under the control of the consumer?

No

Does the cruise line's policy cause any physical or mental harm to the consumers?

No

Does this policy give the Cruise line an unfair advantage in relation to its competitors?

No

Then let a private company do whatever they want.
