Pride Of America Cruise Ship Rushes to Honolulu to Hunker Down During Storm

In response to Tropical Storm Lala, Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America is making an early return to Honolulu, delaying its current itinerary and affecting future sailings. The ship, which departed on August 8, will now arrive in Honolulu on August 14 instead of August 15, pushing back debarkation for guests. This decision is made to ensure passenger safety as the storm approaches, with potential port closures expected. Guests are advised to adjust their travel plans accordingly, as the cruise line provides options for early disembarkation or remaining onboard until the official end of the cruise.
