Goldens4 Posted April 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have looked high and low for the past 4 years and have been wondering why SS does not have a RT from LA to Hawaii? I know they did Hawaii last year (I think) on their world cruise. Did they ever do this? I know they do a RT LA to LA to Mexico. Just never cared for Mexico. And, since the mayor of Cancun was killed by the drug cartel, I just don't have a warm, fuzzy feeling. Would anyone here be interested in this cruise? If so, could you kindly put this on your comment/suggestion card. Does anyone out there know if there is a financial reason why this would not be a viable port/cruise for SS? I believe it could be a moneymaker. To my current knowledge, the only line I know of that does the Hawaiian Islands is NCL and from what I have heard and read about them, I would rather not. Their idea of "free style cruising" is not my thing. I dread the thought of sitting next to the folks at dinner who have been wearing the same shorts and T-shirt for 7 days along with their snot nosed children. Hope I am not being too graphic, just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL America received a dispensation on some of the provisions of the Act which allowed them to operate purely domestic USA cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldens4 Posted April 27, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thank you for the info. Now, I understand. Will check out the cruise, but that time frame will not work with the husband's employment. But, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
