NCL claims cruises still afloat in Hawaii

Is NCL going to shut down its Hawaii cruises?  That rumor was posted on the Web this morning.

Hawaiirama.com suggested that Norwegian Cruise Lineswould be suspending all of its Hawaii cruise operations.  The rumor was based on information received from Bruce Fisher, a contributor to the site. Fisher also posted the rumor on his own Hawaii Vacation Blog Web site.

Not true, insists NCL director of public relations, AnneMarie Mathews. Mathews  acknowledged she’d seen “some things in a Google alert.”  But asked point-blank if NCL was indeed suspending Hawaii cruise operations, Mathews replied, “Not that I’m aware of.  NCL America is still operating as usual.”

Let’s hope that NCL America would make its own PR director “aware” of an impending Hawaii shutdown.
