PRIDE OF HAWAI`I CHRISTENED IN CEREMONY IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles – May 20, 2006 – Tonight, NCL America again made U.S. maritime history by christening Pride of Hawai`i, the largest, most luxurious and most expensive U.S.-flagged cruise ship in history. The historic presentation of this new U.S. - flagged, U.S.-crewed passenger ship continues NCL America’s dynamic revival of the U.S.-flagged cruise industry that had seemingly had been extinguished in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
At the official christening ceremony at the Port of Los Angeles, Star Cruises Chairman Tan Sri KT LIM and NCL Corporation’s President and CEO Colin Veitch were joined by the Honorable Daniel K. Inouye, senior United States Senator from Hawai`i, who sponsored and named the vessel at the pier side event. The Senator was joined by six female crewmembers from Pride of Hawai`i, all hailing from Hawai`i, who christened the ship with the traditional bottle of champagne

My sister and her husband just booked Pride of Hawaii for February. I'm anxious to hear about it!!

Maybe they'll give us a review on their return!

They don't do the forum but I'll see if I can get them to do that and post it. Great idea!!

Hope you can - and thanks!
