In this instance, it can be a port by port enforcement. We’ve already contacted the Portland USCG regarding the Princess ships, thanks to guidance from @properlookout.bsky.social
When we first contacted the Harbor Master she told us, but Disney does it! As if that made it ok.

“The health and safety of our residents and visitors remain our top priority.”

50 of the approximate 3,660 passengers on the cruise ship were ill, enough for the ship to be turned away & unable to dock.

Where my spouse works, decent rentals hard to find, pet friendly- dream on. 100s of options on airbnb/VRBO tho. Buying, you were against hosts buying houses that each earn more as a STR than locals do.
Sad to see these do it yourself hotel units causing havock to locals everywhere. #STR #localsfirst
