The possible end of Cruise Ships in Hawaii
#1
A new rule is being proposed that may end all cruise ships except for Norwegian Cruise lines.

The proposed rule will require foreign-flagged ships to spend at least 48 hours in a foreign port when sailing U.S. routes and that the port time in those foreign destinations be at least 50 percent of the total port time of the itinerary.


If this rule passes, most cruise lines will have to give up their Hawaii itineraries or offer extra-long sailings that spend half the cruise in Hawaii and the other half in foreign countries. NCL America's three U.S.-flagged ships would corner the market on Hawaii cruising with their all-Hawaii itineraries.

From the article:
Proposed rule may force cruise lines out of Hawaii

So to all of those that are relying on this form of tourism to facilitate your income, you might want to look at some other options if this rule get's implemented.

Coming home soon!
