Norwegian Cruise Line Adjusts Schedules as Hurricane Lala Disrupts Hawaii Ports

Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America and Norwegian Spirit have encountered delays due to Hurricane Lala, which disrupted operations at Honolulu Harbor over the weekend. The adverse weather forced the closure of the port, impacting scheduled arrivals and departures.

## Pride of America's Revised Itinerary

The Pride of America, originally set to depart from Honolulu on August 15, 2026, for a seven-night interisland cruise, was unable to dock until August 16 due to the storm. Passengers were informed via text message that check-in at Honolulu Harbor would remain open until 9:00 PM local time.

Norwegian Cruise Line expressed gratitude for passengers' patience and confirmed that embarkation had resumed. The company is currently finalizing revised itinerary details, which will be communicated to guests as soon as they are available.

The ship's original itinerary included stops at:

| Port | Duration | |---------------|----------------| | Hilo | Visit | | Kailua Kona | Visit | | Kahului | Overnight | | Nawiliwili | Overnight |

## Norwegian Spirit's Delayed Arrival

The Norwegian Spirit, a 1999-built vessel offering cruises connecting the South Pacific, Hawaii, and Alaska, was also affected by the hurricane. Originally scheduled to arrive in Honolulu on August 16, 2026, the ship's arrival was postponed to August 17.

Passengers boarding the Norwegian Spirit's upcoming 16-night cruise were asked to arrive at the port one day later. The revised itinerary includes visits to:

| Port | Duration | |--------------------|----------------| | Kailua Kona | Visit | | Nawiliwili | Visit | | Kahului | Visit | | Icy Strait Point | Visit | | Skagway | Visit | | Sitka | Visit | | Ketchikan | Visit |

The cruise is set to conclude in Vancouver, Canada. Norwegian Cruise Line continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
