Thread: Hawaii - news videos for anyone interested

Hi all,

I'm not sure if anyone is interested but, this blog has a couple of links to short CBS and Associated Press videos related to the 10/15/06 quake in Hawaii: Explorer of the Seas December 23, 2007

interesting, I wonder how many cruises will be effected

The Zaandam was in Hilo on the 12th, Honolulu the 13th & 14th, Kona the 15th and is supposed to be at Lahaina today.

The Zaandam had just sent a tender ashore in Kona yesterday for a 7:30 AM excursion when the quake hit. The Zaandam did feel the quake -- everyone thought that something had exploded on board or nearby. The rocked just a little. The captain came on within a few minutes and told everyone what had happened and said that all tours for Kona had been cancelled and that the tender was on the way back with everyone. They kept the one tender in the water for awhile in case it was needed on shore for any reason. But for everyone on the ship yesterday was another sea day and the crew arranged activities for everyone. They were scheduled to pass by the volcano in the evening.
