Norwegian Cruise Ship Headed For Miami With Casino Plans

Norwegian Cruise Lines is having as much difficulty with the economy as other companies. They once had three ships sailing Hawaiian waters, now they will only have one.

The cruise line announced that they are moving The Pride of Aloha out of Hawaii. Originally it was thought that the ship would be moved to Asia, but that is not going to be the case.

The company claimed that Aloha will be given back its original name, Norwegian Sky, and will be headed to Miami. The ship will sail to the bahamas, and be reformatted to fit the bahamas getaway.

The ship will be adding a casino. Many of th people who cruise from Miami to the Bahamas do so for gambling purposes, so it is important that the ship is capable of meeting those needs.

The Hawaii cruises have not been generating enough revenue to call for the ship to stay and sail over there. Increased expenses have made it nearly impossible for it to be worth keeping the ship in Hawaii.

Sunday, when it arrives back in port will be the last time the ship will be in Hawaii. It will immediately leave for Miami. It will begin its new run to the Bahamas once the casino is in place.
