We had a discussion over thanksgiving about this. Apparently the cruise ship making calls
to the Big Island was going to fall off next year anyway due to the fact NCL has reduced service here. There was a WHT/HTH article on this a few weeks ago.
Which is precisely why this rule change doesn't make any sense. There is no guarantee that NCL will ramp up service to compensate
for the reduction in service by these foreign flagged ships.

Its targeted for tourists her business. Alot of people at that farmers market depend on the tourists buying their stuff.
