It is my understanding that the Pride of Aloha was the ship designated to sail on the short cruises in the Hawaiian Islands until the Pride of America sank in port during building the ship earlier this year...

 

Therefore it would seem logical for NCL to move the older smaller ship, the pride of aloha back to short cruises in the islands next year... At that time the new and larger Pride of America starts cruising the full 7 night cruises...

 

Then a year later another new ncl ship is scheduled to join in on the Hawaiian Island 7 night cruises making three ships in Hawaii... All NCL...

 

The problem is how in the world will they staff three ships when they are now having a real problem with just the one...

From what I understand, the 7 day cruises have been booking so well, that they plan to keep the Aloha and the America both on 7 day runs for the near future. That may all change when the Pride of Hawaii comes on line in 2006.

Pride of America will be offering an option for 3 and 4 day cruises. This was annouced in July:

 

MIAMI, July 27, 2004 – NCL Corporation (NCL) today unveiled the itinerary for Pride of America, the second of three U.S. Flagged ships that will sail Hawai`i under the NCL America brand. With a delivery date of June 6, 2005 and after several inaugural cruises, Pride of America will begin sailing seven-day roundtrip cruises from Honolulu on July 23, 2005 as well as offering three-day and four-day inter-island cruises between Honolulu and Maui.

Looks like you can fly into Honolulu or Maui and return from the other. I would love to spend another week on Maui and add a 3/4 day cruise what a vacation!
