Floating City Arrives In Hawaii

And now, a little local news:

The cruise ship Pride of Hawai‘i made its first appearance in the state at Nawiliwili Harbor yesterday.

Robert Kritzman, executive vice president and managing director of [Norwegian Cruise Line] America’s Hawai‘i operations, said the Pride of Hawai‘i is a state-of-the-art ship.

The $500 million ship carries 2,500 passengers and 1,000 crew members, featuring 10 restaurants, 12 bars, a large pool area with a water slide and a health and fitness spa.

Kritzman called the ship a floating city with 3,500 people in it.

    HuH? Not a fan of big ships, or NCL in particular?

    I’m going to see if we [alohamagazine.com] can visit the ship while it’s at Oahu one day, and take some photos and video of it. I’ve seen the smaller NCL ship (smaller?!), and they’re massive.

    I can’t visualize, in my mind’s eye, the size of this boat. Over 3,000 people, and it’s not crowded? Folks, that’s a big boat.

    Not a fan of floating cities that dump their sewage overboard…which they do. Read up on it.

    I’ve got my own boat, much smaller…
